Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay

Drinking this, you get a sense that you're staring into a bottomless lake - it's waters calm and dark, offering very little to what lies beneath. Perhaps a function of under-preparation or in it's dumb phase of aging, the 14' Les Clos was surprisingly underwhelming. Popped and poured, it started off with a sweaty reduction, before opening up to classic Chablis aromas. Palpably concentrated and deep, yet it lacked all the high points and clarity of the stellar 14' La Forest I just had 3 months ago. The table enjoyed it, but it was a disappointing pull for me.

Vincent Dauvissat “Les Clos” 2014- A stunner. Power, intensity and an electric and tense palate that is clearly built to age. Shows an intense seashell minerality, sea spray salinity, rock moss and stone fruit. Exceptionally long and concentrated finish that coats the palate with its seashell and ocean mist persistence.

A stunner. Power, intensity and flat out electric with dazzling complexity. Shows an intense seashell minerality, salty seafoam, rock moss and stone fruits. Absurdly long and concentrated finish as it coats the palate with seashell and ocean mist. Wonderful.

Citrus , saline , mineral tons of dry extract a beauty .

Young but a savage! Power lunch situation at Mama Zu's

Beautiful but young. Very pure.

Tough call....Raveneau or Dauvissat.....well...I'll take them both!
