2014 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru Vincent Dauvissat, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2014 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru, Vincent Dauvissat

It would be all but impossible to mistake this for something other than Chablis as the pungent aromas of oyster shell, iodine and ocean shore elements immediately announce its origins. There is superb intensity to the powerful and concentrated flavors that display so much minerality that the palate impression is akin to licking rocks. Yet for all of the intensity and power this remains impeccably well-balanced on the hugely long and saline-infused finale. In sum, this is a stunner of a Les Clos that I have had the chance to try several times recently and it may even surpass my already lofty expectations. - Allen Meadows, Mai 2018
