Our Tasting Note: Medium straw-gold with subtle green highlights. The nose is cool and precise, led by lemon zest, lime, tart green apple and firm pear, with notes of white flowers, crushed chalk, oyster shell and sea spray. The palate is medium-plus in body, yet tightly wound and linear, driven by firm structural acidity and a powerful saline-mineral core. There is impressive tension and harmony among all the youthful elements, with the commanding structure and authority that distinguish Les Clos. The finish is exceptionally long, mouthwatering and complex, leaving lingering notes of citrus peel, wet stone and salinity.

The Grand Cru of all Chablis wines. Francois’ personal parcel is located in the heart of this famous vineyard, just above the prominent nut tree. This great location helps Francois make one of the very best Les Clos wines. With its 26 hectares, Les Clos is by far the largest Climat in the Chablis Grand Cru appellation. It stretches over its hillside, from top to bottom, enjoying a southwest exposure. This exceptional terroir is therefore bathed in sunshine from noon to evening. This perfect sun exposure, combined with a relatively steep slope, provides ideal ripening conditions. Because of its size, Les Clos’ soil is multi-faceted: towards the top, stones and limestone become more prevalent, whereas towards the bottom, on the contrary, it gets deeper and more clayey.
