Critics reviews

Neal Martin 94-96/100

The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is more open on the nose than Les Preuses, more floral with citrus peel and orange blossom aromas. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, lightly spiced, quite cohesive but maybe the Les Preuses shows a little more sophistication towards the finish. This should evolve into a divine Les Clos but as usual, it will need time.

Ghislain Dauvissat insisted we tasted Clos before Preuses. Dauvissat's Les Clos shows all the power and weight which one would expect of this famous climat. Stone fruit, minerality, a long saline/salty finish. Very deep, very classy, this just needs around five years in which to mature before it will truly show its best.

Drink 2025 - 2040

From 3 different parcels of 50 year old vines that total 1.0 ha.

A discreet application of wood suffuses the restrained and beautifully layered nose of mineral reduction, iodine, tidal pool, white orchard fruit and a vague hint of phenolic character. The super-sleek, dense and intense broad-shouldered flavours possess a palate-etching mouthfeel while delivering simply remarkable length on the stony, austere and very dry finale akin to rolling small rocks around the mouth. The intensity really builds as it sits on the palate; overall, this beauty is superb.

Drink from 2033 onward
