The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos is attired in quite a rich and honeyed bouquet, with scents of yellow flowers and a touch of walnut emerging with aeration, although personally I discern greater delineation on the Vaudésir this year. The palate is showing a little more oak than the other grand crus but there is certainly impressive weight here, if not the delineation and nervosité of the 2014 les Clos on the finish.

Bottled in February 2016, the 2014 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos has a refined bouquet that as I mentioned last year, you could easily mistake for a Chardonnay from the C?te de Beaune. It is clean and precise, just a touch of flint giving away its Chablis origin. The palate is very well balanced with squeezed lime and citrus fruit on the entry, hints of dried orange peel, fine balance with a touch of spice lending it an almost Les Preuses-like personality on the finish. Enjoy this Les Clos over the next 8-10 years.

The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos has a more outgoing nose compared to the Bougros '13, with scents of citrus lemon, a touch of wet wool and cold steel. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, a little austere for a Les Clos with a pleasant twist of bitter lemon toward the finish that shows a little more persistence than the Bougros.
