Chablis Les Clos 2005 Domaine Raveneau

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2005 Chablis Grand Cru Clos is riper and more sun-kissed in profile than the 2008 and 2002 vintages that bracketed it, offering up a rich bouquet of apples, iodine and pastry cream that's framed by notes of smoky reduction. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a textural attack, good depth and concentration, but without the lively, incisive acids and precise fruit tones that define the classic years. This is a powerful, brawny Les Clos but purists will want to gravitate toward the racier vintages.
