2018 Chablis, Les Clos, Grand Cru, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin, Burgundy

Description

For the first time in many years, Benoît is happy with how much Les Clos he has made. The nose is tightly closed, giving only a subtle scent of spice and crushed oyster shell. The palate is equally reserved, with noble reduction before the middle expands slightly, tightening up again on the finish with sizzling mineral freshness. Outstanding potential. Drink 2023-2033.
