Description
92-95 Points Allen Meadows
Once again the nose is markedly cool and reserved with its prominently floral and citrus-suffused aromas of wet stone, shellfish and pungent iodine wisps. The sleek, sophisticated and focused larger-scaled flavors brim with minerality and a reasonable amount of dry extract while the driving, chiseled and linear finish is strikingly long. Interestingly, this doesn’t possess the same density as either the Blanchot or the Valmur but even so it is so compact that it’s clear this is going to require extended cellaring to arrive at its apogee.

The 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Clos is also showing very well, exhibiting aromas of lemon oil, confit citrus fruit, yellow apples, white flowers and almond paste. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, powerful and broad shouldered, with a deep, layered core, considerable concentration and an intensely saline finish. This is an expansive, large-scaled Les Clos that should prove comparatively precocious by the standards of this cuvée.
