"Les Clos 2011 is in stark contrast to the 2012. The intensity of the attack is replaced by a mineral and herbaceous complexity that appears on the nose and palate, remarkable for its finesse and purity. Harmonious ripeness of white peach and citrus, iodine and alkaline flavors." (Wine Advocate 2013 - Robert Parker). This grand cru offers a remarkably complex bouquet, combining fruity, floral and spicy notes, with great minerality.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 18.5/20 (Wine of exceptional quality)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the wine:
A big bottle, both rich and mineral, this is the vintage that puts all the others in agreement, without discussion. Surprisingly, it's already full of fruit and sap.
About the domain :
Didier Séguier has been at the helm since the estate was taken over by Beaune-based Bouchard Père et Fils nearly a quarter of a century ago. The estate's vineyards are certainly the finest in the Chablis region, both in terms of premier and grand crus, but the diligent, rigorous work in the vineyard and in the cellar means that all the quintessential minerality of Chablis's Kimmeridgian limestone is extracted. These are wines that can regularly be enjoyed young, but which also stand up impeccably to ageing.

Wine rated (2012 guide) 18/20 (Outstanding)
About the wine:
A fine Chablis and mineral moment with a complex, fruity, floral, aniseed, iodized, chalky, spicy and dried-fruit nose. Full, powerful and complete on the palate, with citrus fruit and watermelon. Refreshingly taut finish.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2014 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed 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:
es Clos reveals a well-tamed wine, fatter but without softness.
About the domain :
Owned by the Henriot group, this estate is the largest Grands Crus owner in Chablis, with over 15 hectares. Its vast vineyard and range of great terroirs are enhanced by meticulous organization: ploughing of the soil, manual harvesting at the optimum date, yield control. Passionate about his vines, Didier Seguier, who has been at the helm of the domaine since 1998, produces pure, well-defined, clean Chablis, using organic methods (certification underway) and even biodynamic methods for the premier and grand crus. With the exception of the Petit Chablis, vinification and ageing for each cuvée are skilfully divided between barrels - never new - and stainless steel tanks. Rejecting any kind of signature, the style seduces with its respect for terroir and expression of minerality, better preserved since the estate gradually converted the entire range to Diam's corks between 2005 and 2010. Organic conversion is underway.
