Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2023
DOZEN: $2,760.00 or $230.00 each
The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru comes from a single parcel towards the Valmur side that was vinified in a new smaller tank as mildew had reduced quantity. The nose is very harmonious and poised, perhaps even more complex than the 2022. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with a powerful orange rind and spicy finish. NEAL MARTIN
The 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos once again asserts itself as the most powerful and commanding wine in Michel's portfolio this year. It unfurls from the glass with a deep bouquet of lemon confit, apricot and Mirabelle plum, interwoven with notes of freshly baked bread and beeswax. Full-bodied, layered and fleshy yet controlled, it displays considerable reserves of structuring extract that lend energy to its muscular, vinous core. Uniting amplitude with incisiveness, it culminates in a long, persistent finish. WINE ADVOCATE
Extra width to this aroma - complex though subtle - white flowers and flashes of citrus. This cool, mineral shape has quite some architectural volume. Melting at the edges - flavour of such impressive scale and length - but not yet showing the detail - this is a wine to wait for. A top bottle in 5 years? BILL NANSON, Burgundy Report
