Though not reminiscent of a wine from its terroir due to its fruity, lush personality, the 2003 Chablis Les Clos (white) exhibits a nose of sweet, ripe, pulp-laden pears. Its spicy, mineral-dominated core reveals candied apple as well as pear flavors. Broad, plush, and extroverted, this medium-bodied wine would have earned an outstanding score if its finish had been longer. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

Very ripe, displaying a buttered popcorn note, along with honey and pineapple flavors. It borders on flabby, with a curt finish. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 150 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Chablis Select to Add
