"Subtle but discernible wood blends with ripe yet cool aromas of overtly floral lemon-lime, quinine and oyster shell .The sleek, intense and powerful big-bodied flavors manage to retain a highly appealing refinement along with plenty of minerality that seems to build from the mid-palate to the bitter lemon-suffused finale where the oak evidenced by the nose reappears. This isn't as refined as it typically is, and it could use better depth, yet there is sufficient structure and balance to allow this to age well for years."

"After racking, the wine has been matured all in wood whereas it started out in a mix of wooden and stainless steel barrels. Mid lemon colour, the wood lightly present on the nose, but no problem. The oak shows too at the back, so this will take a little longer to come into balance. Hugely intense white fruit in between though."

"The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru comes from a single parcel replanted around 2017, so this particular vintage comes from an exchange of fruit (the first harvest will be in 2022). Aged 50% in used barrel, it has a light flinty bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is well balanced with an edgy opening, fresh and flinty with more substance and grip on the finish compared to the domaine's other crus. Very fine."
