The 2017 Louis Moreau Chablis Les Clos is a Chardonnay from the prestigious Burgundy region in France, specifically from the Chablis appellation. This white wine is produced by Louis Moreau, a name synonymous with quality and tradition in winemaking. The wine is sealed with a traditional cork closure and has an alcohol content of 13.0%.

Wine Enthusiast's Anne Krebiehl MW gives this wine a stellar review, awarding it an impressive score of 97. She describes the wine's nose as having "hints of cool chalk and bright lemon," which are complemented by "a whisper of smoke." The tasting notes highlight a pronounced chalkiness on the palate, which provides texture and body, and is accompanied by flavors of lemon zest and riper tangerine. Krebiehl notes that the wine is "gorgeously fresh now" but also has the potential to evolve beautifully over the next couple of decades, recommending it be consumed by 2040.

This Chablis is characterized by its freshness and minerality, typical of wines from the Les Clos vineyard, known for its unique terroir that imparts distinctive qualities to the Chardonnay grape. The stony, wet-chalk notes add complexity, while the citrus elements contribute to its vibrancy.

Overall, the 2017 Louis Moreau Chablis Les Clos is a wine that promises both immediate enjoyment and potential for aging. It captures the essence of the Chablis region with its elegant structure and refined flavors. With such a high recommendation from Wine Enthusiast, it stands out as an excellent choice for enthusiasts looking to experience a remarkable expression of Chardonnay.
