2023 Chablis Les Clos

Simultaneously muscular and incisive, Patrick Piuze's 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is performing superbly and exemplifies controlled power. Soaring from the glass with a bouquet of multifaceted complexity, it reveals notes of toasted nuts, and dried white flowers mingling with oyster shell and iodine. Full-bodied, concentrated and layered, with tangy balancing acids, ample reserves of chalky structuring extract and a long, persistent finish, it is everything one expects from Les Clos. Needless to say, it will richly reward patience.
