| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.4 pts. and median of 96 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 1/12/2024: Had loads of citrus on the nose along with oyster shell and mint. It was direct and detailed, rich and engaging. There was great texture and build and serious grapefruit cut to the long finish. (996 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 11/26/2023 & rated 95 points: Dinner at home (Chicago, IL): Fantastic bottle of Dauvissat -- such a frustratingly inconsistent producer with bottles showing weird so often. But this bottle -- wow. Quintessence of Chablis. Salty, minerally, lemon zest. That's it. That's the note. (1557 views) | | | Tasted by merlotsmile on 10/13/2023: PM (893 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Wright on 9/25/2023 & rated 93 points: At the River Cafe. From the very beginning, clearly a high quality producer and a well made wine. Initially the acidity and minerality dominate all other elements. As it warmed up and had some time with air, the nose opened up with much more fruit and floral notes. Body was thinner than expected throughout. (966 views) | | | Tasted by Ghoulardi on 7/15/2023: Found this on a restaurant list for less than retail, so had to jump on the opportunity to try this for the first time. Opened at cellar temp, chilled, then consumed after ~1 hour of slow ox.
I know it would be far ahead of its time, but boy - this is truly infanticide to drink this right now. It is very pleasant today with a swath of classic chablis character and it's clearly hinting at a beautiful, layered future, but at present I found this quite thin and lacking the distinction and weight I typically associated with Clos. (1102 views) | | | Tasted by levicn on 5/7/2023 & rated 93 points: 醒酒一个小时多，淡柠檬色，闻香有明显的奶油味，白花和青翠的植物气息，入口酸度高，酒液咸，有白花的辛辣感，一些酒泥的气息，青草，植物和青色水果，包裹在法国橡木桶丝滑的奶油质感下，奶油香气延伸到余味，伴着一些焦糖味收尾。比上一支酒线条结构更明显，植物气息和青色的水果元素也更多，同样精细的橡木桶使用，在适饮性和愉悦感上面比上一支一级园略逊一点，还需要陈年。 (1170 views) | | | Tasted by dnnk88 on 12/26/2022 & rated 98 points: Amazing - complex, vibrant. One of my top 3 whites in 2022 for sure. Probably just slightly behind Kongsgaard Judge 2008 which is my number 1 for 2022. (1576 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 10/15/2022: Ordered at a restaurant as the price wasn’t bad and we were celebrating. This was super young. The nose was initially all crushed rock and dusty earth. Very lean and not giving much. There were some hints of sea breeze and lime peel underneath. After about an hour of air it started to pick up steam with citrus peel, green apple, lots of iodine and sea breeze, and eventually some lovely floral notes. The chiseled rock notes stayed throughout but became more background with air. The palate was excellent though also pretty tight. The intensity and concentration are what you would expect from this wine which is to say incredible. The finish initially feels a bit clipped but as it airs out it begins to expand. Not as good at the ‘14 for me, but it is a great vintage of this wine and is only really beginning to hint at it’s promise. (1616 views) | | | Tasted by merlotsmile on 8/26/2022 & rated 97 points: Enomania Cph (1795 views) | | | Tasted by "Rhône Rider" on 6/7/2021 & rated 96 points: Klar strågul. Litt lukket nese, men viser saltvann, sitron, kritt, ananas, hvit fersken. Vektløs i munnen med østers, sitron, grønne epler, kritt, hvit fersken, røyk. Sutil og underfundig utover i smakskurven med mange lag. Perfekt balanse mellom den høye syra og konsentrert frukt. Integrert fat. Så intens og konsentrert, likevel så avstemt og detaljert. Svært lang. 96-97 (3309 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 3/21/2021: Some of that jellybean aroma, pear and ‘perm.’ Pear fruited, no herb. Very easy drinking an already in the pocket next to his 18 Forest. (2905 views) | | | Tasted by Andre Brattland on 12/27/2020 & rated 96 points: Youthful and slightly closed on aromas, yet the typical fresh Chablis that melt hearts come out with wonderfully concentrated and juicy citrus fruit, citrus peel and the lovely salty spring stone feeling that is experienced as liberating between these warm vintages that now characterize Chablis.
Pretty full-bodied and pronounced fresh Les Clos with beautifully concentrated juicy citrus fruit, lime peel and delicious salts. The balance between the pretty obese middle part, the fantastic crispy sea minerality and the fabulous fresh fruit is enormous, although it is still obvious that this one needs a little more decade to bloom. Wonderful acid-rich finish, with this fresh lime acid that creates desire.
Fantastic Les Clos which in my book beats the 2014 vintage. Here you get a classic Cablis feeling, yet with forward-facing fruit that impresses. sublime wine that has more to go on. 96 points. For now. (96-98p) (3286 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 12/26/2019 & rated 95 points: Intensity of flavor here, but a light touch. Plenty of minerality, appealing floral notes, and energetic acids. 95+ (3118 views) |

U.S. Importer, actually, as it does not appear as though the winery has its own URLChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeLes ClosChablis Grand Cru Les Clos exact outline
Les Clos is arguably the finest grand cru vineyard. Les Clos has greater density and power than the more elegant Vaudésir It is a deep and compact wine. The strong mineral core is of polished steel and this is enveloped in a luscious depth of fruit. If Vaudésir is the queen of the grand crus, Les Clos is the king. It ages wonderfully – a minimum of 10 years. It’s a large sunny vineyard, (28.39 hectares) facing south.It is quite rocky and has a higher level of limestone.
It is also a vineyard in BussièresFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
