Tasting Notes
This is also highly perfumed with a pronounced floral component dominating the other aromas that are composed of citrus, seaweed, iodine and mineral reduction while leaving no doubt that this could be nothing other than Chablis. There is excellent size, weight and muscle to the overtly powerful and well-concentrated flavors that exude a fine minerality on the extract rich finish. This explosive effort is almost aggressively saline and should improve for up to a decade in bottle. Score: 93 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2021+ 15 October 2013
The 2011 Chablis Les Clos is especially massive in this vintage. Rich, voluptuous and enveloping, the 2011 wraps around the palate with a crescendo of aromas and flavors supported by equally imposing structure. The style is quite powerful. It will be interesting to see if more Clos finesse develops over time. Score: 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2013+ 01 August 2013
Pale yellow. Bracing aromas of lemon, ginger, chalk and spices. At once dense and penetrating, with outstanding citric cut to the complex, slightly high-toned flavors of lemon zest, white pepper, minerals and subtle resiny spices. Here, too, the wine's intense chalky character gives it an impression of stronger acidity than the numbers would suggest. Boasts terrific fruit intensity, and the wonderfully precise finish goes on and on. A great showing today, and one of the superstars of the vintage. Score: 96 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 July 2013
Vincent Dauvissat's 2011 Chablis Les Clos smells strikingly maritime in its evocations of sea breeze, kelp, driftwood, clam stock and crustacean shell reduction. And if those scents don-t get your salivary glands pumping then their palate transmigration onto a fleshy yet buoyant and refreshing palate is bound to do the trick. This finishes with impressive sheer persistence, and if it doesn-t display quite the transparency or energy that one meets with from Les Clos at its best, I would urge those lucky enough to be able to acquire some to follow bottles through at least 2020 as I am sure the wine will yet have more to say for itself.
