The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos needs more precision and focus to come though on the nose. There are notes of green apple and chalk and a touch of dried quince in the background, although it needs to show more vigor and authority. The palate is better, with hints of toffee apple and quince on the entry, well judged acidity and flirty flecks of white peach and nutmeg toward the long finish. It actually improves with aeration and should drink well with three or four years in bottle.
Lush and shot through with lemon cake, apple and vanilla flavors, backed by a lively structure, this is long and nicely balanced in the end, with a lingering aftertaste of spice and citrus.?
