Community Tasting Note

• csimm wrote: 95 points

  October 17, 2021 - A 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.
  
  In a great spot now, but could hold longer if desired. Sealed with DIAM 10. Excellent. 94-95 points.

  5/6/22, 4:04 PM - I purchased from Bottle List on release. I don't see the 2016 anywhere in the US currently. The 2019 is still around (which is still pretty spun up right now), but the pricing is elevated - like everything else it seems. Bottle List has the Malandes Vaudesir GC currently at $50 which is a very good QPR. The Vaudesir isn't as compelling as the Clos, but it's nothing to scoff at for 50 bones.
