2008 Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
7/20/2013 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine: NRPnP, served non-blind. Consistent with prior bottles and absolutely on point right now. Bright, powerful aromas of crushed stone, honey, apples, pie crust and Med spices. Medium(+) body, with vibrant acids, medium + finish. Just lovely, if slightly modern. Hard to imagine it getting better, but would not be surprised, either. 13,0% abv, drink thru 2018 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

2019 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
11/15/2023 - csimm wrote: 96 pointsConsistent as the day is long, these later model Droins (especially the awesome 2019s) continue to steal the show for me. These are full bodied Chardonnays that have a sense of finesse and utter focus. The lemon juice and orange zest flavors enliven the palate, with a subtle bead of vanilla-meets-chalk providing perfect frame for the unctuous fruit. Drink now just cuz it’s tasty or hold with confidence for 6-7+ years. Sealed with DIAM. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

2008 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
2/1/2015 - Shiaxonna wrote: 86 pointsLight golden straw color. Smells lots if cheese, honey, brie, cabbage and elderberry flowers. It tastes a bit acidic, a bit weak and unbalanced. The wine suffers a bit from being served blind next to a Leflaive village Puligny '08 which was undisputed white WOTN. After a while lemons dominate the palate, and it seems thin and chemical. Anaemic and disappointing. Guessed Chablis blind, but would never guess this was a grand cru. Very disappointing. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

2013 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
2/2/2024 - HowardNZ Likes this wine: 96 pointsAnother pristine bottle. A beautiful Grand Cru Chablis. All of the elements you expect from a Les Clos. No sign of premox or other oxidisation problem. I would use again the same descriptors as in my 2022 note. At age 11 years, at an early peak. As I said in my earlier note, assuming premox is not an issue, I can see the 2013 drinking well out to say 2037. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

2005 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
10/12/2014 - Thilo Likes this wine: 95 pointsColor is medium gold with lightening at the rim. Nose shows honey, lemon oil, and a slight hint of spice. On the palate, intense flavors of lemon integrate with a honeyed component and are nicely framed by a slight salinity and acidity (which is well-integrated). Long finish and an excellent Chablis from one of the best producers. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2008 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
1/27/2019 - dcwino wrote: 94 pointsA lazy Sunday lunch - Bordeaux blind, Raveneau, PYCM, Yquem, Dom Rose and etc. (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): The color is darker, more golden, than the 08 Raveneau Blanchot. The first note is caramel. Coiled nose displaying deeply toned yellow citrus, honey, caramel, lanoline and limestone. Exceptional concentration, deeply toned dense ripe yellow fruit, very focused but tight, mouth puckering acidity, strong mineral and a medium to long coiled dense yellow citrus driven finish with honey and limestone at the end. Bill finds the initial caramel expression bothersome. It is not premoxed but not as expressive and fresh as the 08 Blanchot. In my experience, Dauvissat tends to shutdown harder than Raveneau. This was one of the greatest young white wines of my life. I am not sure how this will develop but doubt that it will fulfill the original promise. I like it more than others.

2014 Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
5/11/2021 - MattTM wrote: NRDrank blind next to the 2010 Christian Moreau Les Clos. DIAM 10. Strong showing tonight...salty, tons of tart lemon zest, crushed slate...this had everything you look for in a good Chablis. Much more focused than the 2010 yet still retaining plenty of complexity. It's worth noting that this was still showing a kiss of oak on the finish and could use some more time to settle down...but when it's this good already, why wait? 1 person found this helpful, do you?

2008 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
9/13/2017 - conviction buy wrote: NRMed golden with orchard fruit, slightly creamy with citrus note. Very concentrated on palate, distinct crisp acidity of chablis with mineral driven core. However, the wine seems to be ahead of itself, perhaps due to oxidation which could just be what it was intended to be, more like a 2003 bt. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

5/2/2020 - honest bob wrote: 91 pointsFrom 75cl, perfect cork, bright pale-yellow colour, comme il faut. Weighty, intensely concentrated, sharp lemony GC Chablis at the start of its drinking window. Still massive, muscled-up, unyielding. The statistical chances of my remaining two bottles not being premoxed are so low I feel like an idiot, but here goes: If you chance upon an intact bottle, it will be best from 2025++. In this condition: Outstanding wine from a great vintage. 91+(+)P 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2016 Domaine des Malandes Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
10/17/2021 - csimm wrote: 95 pointsA top performer that keeps getting better, the 2016 Malandes Les Clos is juicy and succulent while still maintaining all the Chablis typicity you’d expect from this top Grand Cru site. The color is limeaide fluorescent yellow-green, with flavors of clementine, lime and lemon juice and zest, quince, and ripe yellow pear. Enveloping and viscous in a way that doesn’t ever burden the acidity and lift, with buoyant persistence throughout consumption. One of the best values on release. 2 people found this helpful, do you?

2010 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
11/13/2020 - winot Likes this wine: 95 pointsSimply stunning. A very youthful medium yellow, nose is mineral/stone, with citrus pith back notes. Impeccably balanced, explodes across the palate with stony citrus and a mouth-watering acidity that really fires the salivary glands, leading to a long, chalk-dusty finish that lingers long. The palate also has some breadth and heft, with some leesy notes and a generous mid-palate fullness, while the overall impression is one of elegance and lightness. Really super wine. Based on this bottle, no rush at all. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2011 François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
12/9/2020 - BenBlu Likes this wine: 93 pointsSide by side Dauvissat Clos 11 blind - not much of a difference to be honest, the wines showed really quite similar. The Raveneau was probably a bit more giving and generous but both were typical high class Chablis that will benefit from 5 years + in bottle to really show their potential. Felt like we should have decanted longer. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |
