Chablis Les Clos 2015 Domaine Raveneau

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos has a very tight bouquet with a subtle marine/estuarine influence, gradually opening to reveal walnut and hazelnut notes. Coming back after five minutes, there is a light minty note. The palate is powerful and very well balanced, a fine line of acidity struck through the lightly-spiced fruit with hints of nutmeg and even fennel that lead to a poised but very persistent and satisfying finish. This is just an extremely satisfying Les Clos that will give 20 to 30 years drinking pleasure.

The expressive and elegant if still somewhat reticent nose reflects the ripeness of the 2015 vintage while remaining cool and pure with its array of citrus, white flower, iodine and sea breeze-scented aromas. The refinement continues on the rich and full-bodied flavors that manage to retain both good delineation and plenty of minerality on the palate coating, clean, focused and impressively long finale. While this beauty could certainly be enjoyed now, for my taste I would suggest continuing to hold it for another 3 to 5ish years first.
