2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Vincent Dauvissat, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, Vincent Dauvissat

Aromas of pear, green apple and citrus oil mingling with hints of fresh bread and oyster shell introduce Dauvissat's 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, a full-bodied, layered wine that's ample and elegantly muscular, girdled by bright acids and revealing more overt structure than Les Preuses at this stage. Concluding with a long, chalky finish, even in the demonstrative 2018 vintage, this will merit a bit of patience. - William Kelley, Aug. 2021

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, Vincent Dauvissat

Here the brooding and very restrained nose is certainly ripe yet it's still almost classic with its aromas of mineral reduction, citrus peel, sea breeze, oyster shell and apple. Once again, the mouthfeel of the larger-scaled flavors is quite sleek with outstanding intensity along with abundant minerality while exhibiting excellent power on the dense and serious and bone-dry finish that also displays huge length. I did note just enough backend warmth to mention though otherwise this is superb. - Allen Meadows, Nov. 20
