Vincent Dauvissat Le Clos 2023

The 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is broader in gesture and more assertive than its other grand cru sibling. Aromas of peach, almond paste, beeswax and orange oil intertwine with a marine nuance. The palate is full-bodied and multidimensional, its concentration and lavish texture moderated by a bright line of acidity and abundant structuring extract, concluding in a long, saline finish. While markedly different from Les Preuses, it is no less thrilling and should age effortlessly for at least three decades—assuming the cork does its part.
