Tasting note: On the lean side, focused and intense, this white offers more mineral and chalk elements than lemony fruit. That said, this is balanced between fruit, mineral, structural and textural components, showing tremendous dry extract and a long finish. (95pts. BS, Wine Spectator)

Tasted: 2010
Score: 95
Drink: 2012-30

Tasting note: This too offers dazzling aromatic purity but is even less expressive at the moment than the Preuses as the classic young Les Clos austerity is present in spades with tight, layered and elegant green fruit, oyster shell, iodine and white flower aromas that are cool and very primary, indeed even backward. The flavors are also quite understated and seem to be extracted directly from liquid rock as the minerality this displays is remarkable and there is a very different tactile sense in the mouth with simply tremendous buffering extract and staggering length on the ultra precise, bone dry and explosive finish. Wow, this is flat out stunning Les Clos that is constructed entirely on its minerality. One of the wines of the vintage. (95pts. Burghound)

Tasting note: Bright yellow. Subtly complex nose melds Asian pear, violet, lavender, ginger, iodine and powdered stone. Tactile and dense on entry, then creamy in the middle, conveying an impression of great volume without weight. This extremely backward, youthfully understated Clos firms up dramatically on the back end, finishing with palate-saturating citrus and talc flavors that refuse to fade. One of the longest Chablis bottlings I tasted for this issue, this truly transcends chardonnay. (96+?pts. Stephen Tanzer)
