The Les Clos Grand Cru displays a very pronounced, dry minerality—reminiscent of chalk or white clay—immediately softened by sweet, honeyed notes of acacia blossoms. The palate is powerful, with subtle hints of very ripe pear. A wonderful bottle!

Food and Wine Pairings
A savourer sur des accords de grande classe : homards, langoustes (grillés ou en sauce blanche). Sa minéralité et sa vivacité donnent aussi une belle réplique à l'iode des huîtres... <br/>
