Chablis Les Clos 2023 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat

Description

Avis professionnels

Vinous (95)

The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a more expressive bouquet than the Les Preuses at the moment: crushed stone intermingles with hazelnut, hints of chalk and glimpses of yellow plum and Vervane. It coheres beautifully in the glass. The palate is more involving than the Les Preuses, perhaps edgier. A complex and very saline finish gets the saliva flowing. It seems to revel in being Les Clos and has one-up on Les Preuses at this prenatal juncture.

Burghound (95)

A cool and restrained nose is comprised by the essence of wet stone, white flower, citrus confit, oyster shell and an unusual hint of resin. The sleek and almost painfully intense larger-bodied yet still refined flavors are akin to rolling a small pebble around the mouth, all wrapped in a hugely long, balanced and youthfully austere finale. Like the Preuses, this is a wine that should effortlessly reward a decade plus of keeping. Moreover, it is one of the wines of the 2023 vintage.

Jasper Morris (94)

A little more yellow in the colour. Equal quality, less exuberance. On the palate this is very complete, a slight spicy biscuit to finish, not as flamboyant. But solid and fine. Not quite as much excitement at the finish as Les Preuses, but more spices.
