Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Kristaps Karklins
The 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is broader in gesture and more assertive than its other grand cru sibling. Aromas of peach, almond paste, beeswax and orange oil intertwine with a marine nuance. The palate is full-bodied and multidimensional, its concentration and lavish texture moderated by a bright line of acidity and abundant structuring extract, concluding in a long, saline finish. While markedly different from Les Preuses, it is no less thrilling and should age effortlessly for at least three decades—assuming the cork does its part.
About the Producer
One of the most prestigious producers in the Chablis region of Northern Burgundy, Rene et Vincent Dauvissat is a family estate that has been operating since 1931. Originally founded by Rene Dauvisset, whose son Vincent started assisting his father in 1976. The vineyard covers an area of 14 hectares. Although the estate produces a Villages Chablis and a Petit Chablis that are difficult to get a hold of, they are known for their prized Grand Cru and Premier Cru bottlings from the top vineyards in Chablis including the renown Les Clos and Les Preuses.
