A fascinating nose of stone dust and white flower aromas combine with superbly well detailed and intensely mineral suffused flavors that are dry penetrating and wonderfully long on the explosive and palate staining finish. The clear class of this group even if only by a little.

Aromas of buttered citrus fruit, iodine, crisp yellow apples and dried white flowers introduce the 2006 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, a full-bodied, deep and multidimensional wine with ripe but lively acids, chalky structuring extract and a concentrated core of fruit. This can be quite a ripe, exotic vintage in Chablis, but Guffens has produced a serious, muscular wine. - William Kelley

The precision balance pulls all the components together. Yellow plum and peach notes with a hint of the seashore take on a spicy accent as this white builds on the palate to a long finish. Best from 2009 through 2018. 75 cases imported. -BS
