Chablis, Les Clos, Grand Cru, 2009
Very tight-packed and powerful, this tastes like it was made from very small, concentrated berries; there is almost a tannic structure to this. Impressive, long, steely flavours, notes of lime skin, nectarine, greengage, mineral and butter. An extraordinary wine.
critic reviews
The 2009 Chablis Les Clos is a beauty. Stunningly rich and deep, it possesses gorgeous textural richness and depth in its layers of intensely perfumed peaches and apricots. The fruit totally saturates the palate with incredible depth and nuance in its perfume. Seductive and enthralling at first, the Clos turns positively explosive on the finish. Gorgeous, expressive scents linger on the close. Fevre's parcels are on the limestone-rich upper slopes of Les Clos. About 50% of these vineyards were planted in the 1940s.
