Chablis Les Clos 2012 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

In something of a role-reversal with typical Preuses, Dauvissat's 2012 Chablis Les Clos displays a mouthwateringly scallop-like alliance of saline, sweet, and intriguingly savory elements of the sort that make one ask "how can this come from grapes?" That-s in addition to the even more predictable intrigue associated with Kimmeridgian Chardonnay: evocations of chalk dust, smoky-fusil crushed stone, iodine, and fresh citrus. All this is wreathed in iris perfume tinged with a bite of horseradish, and focuses on a palpably extract-rich palate and finish of forceful penetration and almost electric excitation.
