Fusil and chalk dust notes rise from the glass of Raveneau’s 2011 Chablis Les Clos, along with scents of grapefruit and lemon that presage a juicy, bright and – especially for youthful wine from this formidable site – surprisingly succulent palate impression. There is greater density but little additional sense of weight here vis-a-vis its two grand cru siblings in the present collection, and there is a transparency to marine mineral nuances as well as a cut, energy and sheer persistence to the finish that set this fine effort apart, and mark it as one likely to be worth following through at least 2025.
