Critics Scores
Vinous
Pale bright yellow. Tighter and greener on the nose than the Valmur with the aromas of lime mint and talc coming across as less ripe. Broad austere and energetic in the mouth; surprisingly mouthcoating considering how early it was harvested but with a hint of grapefruit zest bitterness making it difficult to taste today. Finishes brisk and energetic with an impression of weightlessness. Holds out superb potential but this bone-dry Clos will need serious cellaring to express itself fully. Production here was just 20 hectoliters per hectare owing to the hail losses and the Raveneaus may assemble this cuvée a little earlier than usual.
Decanter
Brooding apple and pear nose, powerful but restrained. Rich and ripe but elegant, with a filigree character and piquant acidity. Refined and long with a fine future. Approximately 1800 bottles produced. Drinking Window 2018 - 2030
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos has a very tight bouquet with a subtle marine/estuarine influence gradually opening to reveal walnut and hazelnut notes. Coming back after five minutes there is a light minty note. The palate is powerful and very well balanced a fine line of acidity struck through the lightly-spiced fruit with hints of nutmeg and even fennel that lead to a poised but very persistent and satisfying finish. This is just an extremely satisfying Les Clos that will give 20 to 30 years drinking pleasure. Neal Martin
