Scores

Bright pale yellow with a green tinge. Complex aromas of citrus fruits, crushed stone, silex, licorice and mint. Dense and rich but reticent; mouthfilling but with a lighter touch than the preceding grand crus. Less large and more long in shape. Really vibrates on the saline, smooth finish, where the smoky, flinty character is more than strong enough to stand up to the 50% oak element. From a blend of 50- and 30-year-old vines, plus a bit of younger vines that Droin says brings added freshness to the wine. 90-92 Stephen Tanzer

Tasting Notes

Les Clos customarily gives a masterclass and this is no exception. Notes of lemon and green banana make a nod for fruit lovers, while notes of oyster shell, grilled nuts and perfume while satisfy those who savour the aromatics. On the palate, this is clearly a serious, grand and complete wine with a salty tang, exemplary drive and the perfect combination of power and precision. Drink 2015-2025+

Benoît Droin may have a youthful appearance but he speaks with the wisdom that can only come from generations of Chablisien know-how being passed down by a combination of intuition, osmosis and hard-work. His goal is terrific wines of purity, elegance and accessibility. Combine this with some great value pricing and these wines will continue to bring enormous pleasure to all who encounter them.
