So cool and delicate, so deep and refined, this Chablis Grand Cru is only just beginning to open up and display its fabulous elegance. Very precise and filigree palate that doesn’t even reach the upper end of medium-bodied, because this kind of chardonnay doesn’t need volume to impress. Such an incredibly elegant finish that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold.

(92-95 points) Subtle but discernible wood blends with ripe yet cool aromas of overtly floral lemon-lime, quinine and oyster shell .The sleek, intense and powerful big-bodied flavors manage to retain a highly appealing refinement along with plenty of minerality that seems to build from the mid-palate to the bitter lemon suffused finale. This could use better depth yet, much like the Valmur, there is sufficient structure and balance to allow this to age well for years.

Currently showing a bit more oak, this has plenty of weight on the palate. A little more heft than this producer’s Les Preuses, but likely to be more popular. Impressive but, for me, not their top 2020. Sappy on the palate, casks were used here for fermentation and malolactic.

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru comes from a single parcel replanted around 2017, so this particular vintage comes from an exchange of fruit (the first harvest will be in 2022). Aged 50% in used barrel, it has a light flinty bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is well balanced with an edgy opening, fresh and flinty with more substance and grip on the finish compared to the domaine's other crus. Very fine. -- Neal Martin
