Tasting notes
The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos has a very tight bouquet with a subtle marine/estuarine influence, gradually opening to reveal walnut and hazelnut notes. Coming back after five minutes, there is a light minty note. The palate is powerful and very well balanced, a fine line of acidity struck through the lightly-spiced fruit with hints of nutmeg and even fennel that lead to a poised but very persistent and satisfying finish. This is just an extremely satisfying Les Clos that will give 20 to 30 years drinking pleasure.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Domaine Raveneau's Les Clos is drawn from one of Chablis's most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards, planted to Chardonnay on the steep Kimmeridgian slopes above the town. Grand Cru status here means depth of soil and southerly exposure, giving a wine of real concentration and ageing potential.
Expect flinty minerality, citrus and orchard fruit, and a taut, saline finish that lengthens in the glass. Serve at 12-14°C with turbot, lobster or a rich beurre blanc - a serious white for the owner's table.
