The 2024 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Hommage à Louis, vinified equal parts in tank and wood, comes recommended. It opens in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, pear and almond paste, mingled with notes of spring flowers and warm stones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, framed by a crisp core of fruit, racy acidity and a long, chalky finish. Deep and authoritative, it represents a commendable achievement in a challenging vintage.
The 2024 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru Hommage à Louis (the name is now officially ratified by the authorities) has the best aromatics among the Grand Crus, with more mineralité and intensity. Wet limestone and sea cave aromas burst from the glass. The palate is vibrant with energy and tension. It has a light reduction that Droin attributes to the blue clay soils and a complex, persistent finish. The 2024 is excellent!
40% oak for Les Clos, which retains its Hommage à Louis soubriquet. A bright pale colour. Subtly perfumed on the nose, white flowers in full summer, excellent marine freshness at the finish, understated but fine and persistent.
