Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): Unbelievably energetic and precise nose displaying perfectly ripe pure yellow citrus fruit, lemon curd, fresh lemon, honey, a hint of beeswax, honeysuckle, spicy spices, and crushed rocks. Quintessential Les Clos palate, slightly coiled perfectly ripe pure yellow fruit, incredible intensity, energy and precision, perfect balance, bright acidity, strong mineral, and a seamless long yellow fruit driven finish with honey and mineral at the end. This is very “Clos” and different than Valmur or Blanchot. Exceptional Chablis.

Wines while dining in Montreal; 10/18/2023-10/21/2023 (Montreal, QC): Decanted and enjoyed over a long dinner. Substantial concentration and power. First few sips were tight though the gradually softened and with an hour was providing a lot of pleasure. Striking combination of orchard and citrus purity with depth/power and length for days. One for the ages, with upside from here.
