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

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2014 guide) 18.5/20 (Wine of exceptional quality)
Rated estate (2021 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the wine:
A great wine, both rich and mineral—this is the vintage that everyone agrees on, without question. Surprisingly, it’s already bursting with fruit and vitality.
About the estate:
Didier Séguier, who has been in charge since the estate was acquired by Bouchard Père et Fils of Beaune nearly a quarter of a century ago, has significantly improved the quality of the wines since then. While the vineyard holdings are undoubtedly the finest in the entire Chablis region—whether Premier Cru or Grand Cru—it is the meticulous and rigorous work in both the vineyard and the cellar that allows the winemakers to extract the very essence of the minerality characteristic of Chablis’s Kimmeridgian limestone. These wines are often enjoyable when young but age impeccably.

Wine rated (2012 guide) 18/20 (Outstanding)
About the wine:
A beautiful, mineral-driven Chablis with a complex nose featuring fruity, floral, aniseed, briny, chalky, and spicy notes, with hints of dried fruit in the background. On the palate, it is full-bodied, powerful, and well-rounded, with flavors ranging from citrus to watermelon. The finish is enlivened by a lovely, refreshing tension.

About the wine:
The 2011 Clos stands in contrast to the 2012. The intensity of the initial attack gives way to a mineral and herbaceous complexity that emerges on the nose and palate, remarkable for its finesse and purity. Harmonious notes of white peach and citrus, with briny and alkaline flavors.

Wine rated (2014 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good wine)
Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
Es Clos unveils a well-structured wine that is fuller-bodied but not flabby.
About the estate:
Owned by the Henriot Group, this estate is the largest owner of Chablis grands crus, with more than fifteen hectares. Its vast vineyard and range of exceptional terroirs are brought to their fullest potential through meticulous management: plowing the soil, hand-harvesting at the optimal time, and regulating yields. Passionate about his vineyards, Didier Seguier, who has led the estate since 1998, produces pure, well-defined, and crisp Chablis wines, using organic methods (certification pending) and even biodynamic practices for the Premier Crus and Grands Crus. With the exception of the Petit Chablis, winemaking and aging are skillfully divided for each cuvée between barrels—never new—and stainless-steel tanks. Eschewing any distinct “signature” style, the wines captivate with their respect for the terroir and expression of minerality, which have been better preserved since the estate gradually switched the entire range to Diam’s corks between 2005 and 2010. The transition to organic farming is underway.
