Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay

2012 out of magnum - amazing salinity and lees character has aged beautiful in magnum - happy Birthday Mark - hope you got some pics of the growers Champagnes mark they were amazing

Classic Les Clos

Tight but developing by the minute. Mid palette not that strong. Great acid.

This is the most famous grand cru and the largest this wine has a wonderful richness lemon zest very rich and layered with tongue tingly acidity and a long mineral laced finish very juicy with a long finish very creamy and rich on the palate

I haven’t had a lot of aged Chablis, but this is drinking remarkably well for being 13 years old. Austere; high acid but with some weight to it. Flint and lemon peel but I would wager this saw at least some oak as there is definitely a little butterscotch in the background both in the nose and palate. Drinks like a lighter more restrained Montrachet.

Superb. Still green gold in color. Rich and dense. Lemon zest.

Delicious! Has room for further improvement.

😎 £34 bargain Grand Cru from my fav Chablis producer 😍that's fab now in ☀️ but will go on for many years 👍

🍷 Light straw yellow

👃 A refreshing citrus waterfall crashing over mineral rocks splashing green apple skins & white flowers at ya 💥

👄 Med creamy, but not syrup, punchy zingy zesty zap injection to the saliva glands invoking a mineral monster mash in med+ acidity w/ grapefruit tiny tickle

🎯 Long citric w/ touch green apple & grapefruit mineral dribble 💦

Drink slightly warmer to release 💥

Perfect with a bone in pork chop. Pineapples, crisp fresh picked peaches. So good!
