The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is the most reserved wine in the range, but its quality is already more than apparent. Unfurling in the glass with scents of citrus oil, green apple and iodine and framed by a deft touch of smoky reduction, it's full-bodied, deep and broad-shouldered, with immense concentration, a multidimensional but tight-knit core, racy underlying acids and a long, searingly mineral finish. This will demand some patience, but it will be worth it. 95+ Points Wine Advocate
This nails the sort of prowess and showy style that defines this cru. The nose is so glossy and ripe with peach and lemon brulée. Such fleshy texture on the palate with underlying minerality that holds the finish so long and deep. Superb balance, depth and concentration. Mouth-filling and very approachable. Such is the fleshy richness here. Drink or hold. 95+ Points Nick Stock
