Chablis Les Clos 2008 from Vincent Dauvissat is a mature Chardonnay sourced from one of Chablis` most prestigious Grand Crus. The 2008 vintage is revered by purists for its high acidity and classical structure, following a cool growing season that allowed for slow, steady ripening. Dauvissat’s traditional use of old oak barrels and minimal intervention has resulted in a wine that is in a prime drinking window. The profile is defined by a laser-like acidity and an intense flinty character, with underlying notes of lemon zest, green apple and acacia. Its texture is concentrated and taut, leading into an incredibly long, saline finish that is the hallmark of the Les Clos site.

Bright medium yellow. At once penetrating and refined on the nose, with high-pitched aromas of lemon, orange zest and oyster shell accented by cinnamon and ginger spice notes. Wonderfully juicy and vibrant in the middle palate, conveying an impression of outstanding tactile density without weight. Flavors of pineapple, white pepper and salty minerality are at once generous and chewy. This beautifully balanced, fresh grand cru boasts outstanding inner-mouth energy and finishes with steadily rising length and an impression of solidity. This wine, incidentally, was spectacular from the outset. (picked on September 29 with between 12.5% and 13% potential alcohol, according to Dauvissat; 4.5 g/l acidity)Stephen Tanzer1st November 2019
