Drouhin-Vaudon, Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2019
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru, matured in used 500-liter barrels, has a perfumed bouquet of Granny Smith apples, sliced pear, crushed rock and light dewy pasture aromas. The palate is well balanced with more weight than the Bougros, fine acidity and a light flintiness coming toward the pure finish. Excellent.
