Tasting notes
The 2018 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a focused bouquet with white peach, mint and pressed white flowers. Very aromatic. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, well-judged acidity, quite sapid with bitter lemon and orange rind towards the tensile, quite spicy finish. Great focus and power here. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

The 2018 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has quite an intense lime-scented bouquet flanked by orange blossom and pressed white flowers. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed opening and notes of almond and spice. After 30 minutes, that spiciness seems to become accentuated, though it just does not quite manifest the persistence that this Les Clos deserves.
The 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos has turned out nicely, unfurling in the glass with aromas of ripe citrus fruits, confit lemons, pear and orange blossom. It is full-bodied, elegantly muscular and textural, with fine depth at the core, ripe but succulent acids and a long, penetrating finish. This is the broadest-shouldered, most powerful wine in the Louis Michel portfolio.
