The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is a medium-bodied, oak-inflected wine with little character or concentration.

The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos comes from 40-year-old vines that were cropped at 29 hectoliters per hectare and raised over 12 months in 80% stainless steel and 20% new oak. It has a precise limestone and flint-scented bouquet that is focused and intense. The palate is well balanced with neatly integrated oak. It's quite grippy in the mouth, with admirable depth on the saline finish. There is something a little conservative about this les Clos, but it should age with style. This is a stylish follow-up to the equally impressive 2014 les Clos.

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Brouilland. The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos fell short of the fine showing last year although I suspect this is more because it is amidst an awkward stage of evolution. It has an attractive bouquet with touches of praline and honeysuckle infusing the citrus fruit, nicely detailed and full of vigor. The palate is fresh and full of lime on the entry. This feels linear in the mouth with a slightly nuttiness developing towards the finish that does not quite deliver the definition that I was hoping for. Give this a couple more years in bottle and I am sure it will revert back to its initial promise. Tasted May 2016.
