The 2015 Clavoillon was showing very nicely at the time of my visit, with plenty of elegance in evidence on both the nose and palate. The bouquet delivers a fine and quite floral constellation of lemon blossoms, apple, pear, chalky soil tones, a touch of fresh almond and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite open structurally, with a fine core, sound framing acids and good mineral drive on the long and still fairly primary finish. More complexity will emerge with further bottle age, but this wine is going to be difficult to keep one’s hands off of in its youth, if it does not firm up a bit more after bottling, as it is wide open and already delicious to drink today!
