2019 vintage. Enjoying the simpler, 2018 vintage of this wine a bit more currently. The 2019 is pretty tight and very youthful. Laying off for a 5-spot might help but a 10-spot would be better. OTOH, if you wanted to pour this btg or drink throughout the course of 4 nights without the worries of it losing steam or going bad, you just might be onto something. 1.24.24. — 10 months ago

Muted at first but put on weight with air. Mineral drenched, musky, ripe green tree fruit and spice, honey, some new wood influence which actually nicely refines and softens the intensity. Not losing steam and in fact still integrating — 3 years ago

Very enjoyable Wednesday Wine Committee lunch today with @Weston Eidson & @Colby Siratt hosting. Same format as always...1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine all tasted blind.

Lovely aromatics here. Mix of red and black fruit. Tar, pipe tobacco, graphite and black cherry cola. This picked up steam the longer it was open. I’d hold these. I called this left bank 2012 vintage. — 5 years ago

Tasted between its sec and molleaux companions it loses steam, neither here nor there but still quite fine on its own — 2 years ago

Enjoyed this wine over Christmas Eve with a Kansas City Ribeye, a salad and some steakhouse bacon. The time really turned this into a very pleasant wine. The fruits were not as forward as is so many modern and young CdP’s, but you could still get some black fruits, along with some tar, leather and dirt. It began to lose some steam later in the evening, say 2.5-3.0 hours after opening. Mostly what I would want and expect from a 16 year old CdP in a vintage like 2004. — 4 years ago

Super good!!! Good aroma. This is really well mixed French and US. Elegant, but enough volume and concentration. Sweetness as the feature of CA CS. 2013 @2384, tatong - X Steam, 190310-190313 — 6 years ago

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a light, quite steely bouquet that gathers steam with aeration, one of the more marine-influenced wines from Les Clos this year. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite taut and focused with a touch of spice lending another dimension on the finish. Composed and classy. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)
