Chablis, Les Clos, Grand Cru, 2010
Fèvre are the biggest owner of Les Clos and have some very well placed old vines in the higher part of the vineyard, many planted back in the 1950s. Very powerful but complete, everything about this is impressive, showing rich and intense flavours that are delivered on the palate with finesse. Refined, multi-layered characteristics of citrus, salted butter, mineral, blossom, limestone and flint, culminating in an enormous finish. A blockbuster.
critic reviews
The 2010 Chablis Les Clos is all about understatement and balance. White floral notes meld into white stone fruit in this utterly gracious Chablis. Clos can at times be fleeting and elusive, and there is certainly some of that in the 2010. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's textural finesse and sheer overall balance. I will not be surprised if the 2010 continues to get better in bottle.
