"Brilliant!"
"Les Clos relies on a fuller, creamier flesh, but the formidable intensity of its flavors is carried by a vigorous breath: it imposes itself with harmony and authority." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)

About the wine:
The 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos has evolved well, floating from the glass to aromas of golden orchard fruit, citrus oil, dried white flowers and beurre blanc. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's bright and lively, with a fleshy core of fruit, succulent acids and a delicate, mineral finish.

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
Les Clos relies on a fuller, creamier flesh, but the formidable intensity of its flavors is carried by a vigorous breath: it imposes itself with harmony and authority.
About the domain :
This family-run estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, becoming part of the Faiveley family, which thus enlarged its portfolio, already comprising 20 hectares of the finest Chablis terroirs, with four Grand Crus: Les Clos, Les Preuses, Vaudésir and Les Blanchots; four Premier Crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume and Vaillons, as well as Chablis and Petit Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed régisseur in 2014, and quickly refined the management of the elevages. From 2016 onwards, the return of high quality is evident, and this address is now one of the safest in Chablis.
