Uva(s): 100% Chardonnay
Apelação: Chablis Grand Cru

Descrição:

O Grand Cru Les Clos é o mais renomado dos 7 Grands Crus de Chablis. Produz vinhos retos, mas generosos e poderosos. O seu bouquet é muito mineral, o que lhe confere muita elegância, e a boca revela notas sutis de amêndoa e pêra.

Uma certa contenção governa a natureza calcária, noz e esfumaçada do nariz deste vinho. Muito lentamente, uma nota pura de limão picante aparece, iluminando todo o vinho. Densidade calcária, frescor e pedregosidade rica dão textura e concentração diferenciadas pelo frescor do limão. O final é cheio e duradouro.

O vinho já apresenta harmonia e porte que só irão aumentar com o passar dos anos.

 Safra:

Wine Enthusiast - Anna Lee C. Iijima:
Notes of crushed limestone and sea salt lend freshness to powerfully ripe yellow apple, pineapple and pear flavors in this wine. Matured entirely in stainless steel, it's a classic Chablis focused squarely on the sun-drenched richness and invigorating mineral sheen of the Grand Cru Les Clos vineyard. Just approaching peak now, the wine should improve through 2040.

Jancis Robinson:
Creamy richness of apple, with plenty of extract and a stony rather than steely undertow. Good length.

Wine & Spirits:
Louis Moreau’s seven acres in Les Clos were most recently replanted between 1958 and 1968. The fruit of those old vines, ripened on a south-facing slope, ferments on its own yeasts and ages undisturbed on the fine lees for 18 to 20 months in stainless steel vats. It’s worth the price of admission to drink a wine of this stature presented completely naked, without any oak. This is plump, luscious Chablis that takes its time to show itself fully, cool and glorious five days after first opening the bottle. At that moment, it was 'almost lemon, almost yellow apple,' said Tim Buzinski (Culinary Institute of America), a wine in the process of becoming.
