Domaine Louis Michel - Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2021 (750ml)

"Light reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background though notes of citrus and wet stone can be discerned. More interesting are the impressively dense, powerful and muscular broad-shouldered flavors that possess an almost opulent mid-palate thanks to the abundance of dry extract that does an excellent job of buffering the firm acid spine shaping the compact, moderately austere and serious finale. This is excellent thought it's quite backward and a wine that will need at least moderate patience."

​"The 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is one of the richer, more muscular wines of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet orchard fruit, white flowers, clear honey, toasted nuts and youthful reduction, it's full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with a layered core, bright acids and a long, saline finish.​"

"TOP QUALITY PRODUCER Clean, fresh, driven and with great purity, this balances soft, ripe peach fruit, a dash of lemon/lime zest and a saline character on the very long finish. Super concentrated, elegant and precise, this restrained, less showy, Les Clos will be exceptional in 5-10 years. Louis Michel's plot lies in the western part of Les Clos, halfway up the slope on blue clay soils."
Jasper Morris 93-95 points
"Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is the most backward to date, but with a measure of steel which promises well. Very good tension, pure and clean white fruit with grand cru grip, and fine length, especially for the vintage. One to look out for. Powerful in a compact style!"
