Stelvin closure. This is drinking very well at the moment. Floral delicate and ripe. Definitely showing the greatness of les clos terroir, albeit from a warmer vintage that may lack cut to some. Great nonetheless.
Drink or hold. 13% abv

Golden colour suggests older than its 9 years. Bouquet jumps out of the glass - citrus, grapefruit and, yes, the banana of a previous reviewer. Lovely acid and minerality but too buttery and full-bodied for my idea of a grand cru Chablis (could have come from Australia), hence the lower score.

Rather youthful and closed nose to start. Citrus fruits surrounded by fuller, slight buttery notes. Quite full, not as precise as other top class "Les Clos". However it improves greatly towards the end, after 2+ hours. Not in a hurry to open. Keep it for another 2-4 years. 16+/20

Unfortunately this wine was oxidised despite the Stelvin closure. Shame as I was looking forward to it!
