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)

Looking just a tad developed the first night, sadly had fallen over by the second night. Still plenty of stuffing, gorgeous density and focus, but freshness compromised by what looked like random ox.

Nice floral notes. Fresh grass and straw on the nose with a hint of citrus on the palate.
