2020 Chablis Grand Cru ‘Les Clos’ Maison Louis Jadot
£89.00
“The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a struck match reduction on the nose – though it is not too strong and should be subsumed with bottle age. The palate is well balanced with a tangy marmalade-tinged entry, fine depth with some well-integrated oak towards the finish. There is a sense of harmony and focus here that is very convincing. Give it two or three years in bottle. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.”

Product Description
Chablis is in the northern part of Burgundy, half way between Dijon and Paris. The continental climate (very cold in winter and hot in the summer with frosts in spring) and the marly limestone soils combine to mould the unique character of Chablis wines. About 3500 hectares are planted (including 856 ha of Premiers and Grands crus) with Chardonnay. 7 climats can be called Grand Cru in Chablis : Preuses, Bougros, Les Clos, Grenouilles, Blanchot, Valmur and Vaudésir. Those vineyards are all situated on the right side of Le Serein river, on the hill. This situation gives a strong and full-bodied character to the wine.
After a soft pressing, part of the juice is fermented in “double barrels” of 406 litres produced by cooperage Cadus. The other part is vinified and aged in stainless steel vats. Aging usually lasts 13 to 15 months on fine lies before bottling.
