Description
95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “The 2017 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is a gorgeous, sophisticated wine. Exotic white flowers, mint, citrus and crushed rocks are some of the many notes that lift from the glass in a vivid, striking Chablis that speaks to finesse more than anything else. The intensity of the flavors is just remarkable, and yet the wine is light on its feet, gracious and incredibly inviting. The brisk, refreshing finish is sublime. Drink: 2022-2032. (Jan 2020)”
91-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: “A sample taken from one tank. It is lean and tight, white fruit, some gas still, medium plus intensity but all the class. Little touch of reduction, excellent length. Too early to judge. Tasted: May 2018. (May 2018)”
94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): “Even with the advantage of frost protection, Moreau only achieved yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare with his 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, but it was enough to mature half of the cuvée in tank and half in barrel. The wine unwinds slowly in the glass with aromas of wheat toast, beeswax, green apple, ripe citrus fruits and almond paste, followed by a full-bodied, satiny and racy palate that’s quite taut and fine-boned, with a penetrating, chalky finish. Drink: 2023-2037. (Aug 2019)”
94 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): “[$125 list] A suave style, combining peach, apple, lemon and oak spice notes with a velvety texture and vibrant structure. Comes together nicely on the lingering aftertaste. Should be even better in a year or two. Best from 2020 through 2028. 1,250 cases made, 250 cases imported. (12/15/19)”
94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): “Once again the presence of moderate wood influence does not suppress the expressiveness of the mildly exotic white orchard fruit and oyster shell aromas that also display plenty of petrol character. The delicious and succulent medium plus weight flavors possess ample amounts of minerality and sappy dry extract that buffers the lemon-tinged acid spine shaping the powerful, complex and impressively persistent, dry and crisp finale. This too is very promising. Drink: 2029+. (Oct 2019)”
