Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Nov 19
Pale yellow-straw. A touch of lactic reduction to the classic aromas of grapefruit, lemon, crushed stone and mint; stands out for its treble tones. Almost painfully intense in the mouth; a pure expression of calcaire with its penetrating lemony fruit cut by incisive iodiney shrimp and oyster shell minerality. Extremely tight-grained in the early going, with no way in. A real essence of Clos, and the most youthfully closed wine in the tasting. Finishes with outstanding palate-staining length and lift. This dense but weightless grand cru has all the elements for greatness. The finished acidity is above 4.5 grams per liter, according to Dauvissat.

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
