Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2011 has much more vigor on the nose compared to the previous two wines, with vibrant citrus lemon, apple blossom and flinty aromas that burst forth with real conviction. The palate is clean and fresh, taut and linear but there is a sense of tension running throughout this les clos. It needs to muster more complexity on the finish, but it is the kind of grand cru worth cellaring for five years to see what comes out the other end. - Neal Martin
