2017 Patrick Piuze Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru

Other Reviews…..
The 2017 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a very well defined bouquet with scents of citrus peel, albumen, almond and light granitic scents that become more pronounced with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, fine tension, quite sharp and saline towards the finish that urges you back for another sip. This has great potential. Drink 2020-2033.

Neal Martin – Vinous

Elegant, cool and pure aromas consist of honeysuckle, white orchard fruit, mineral reduction and iodine wisps. There is excellent volume and richness to the intensely stony and muscular flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the firm, powerful and driving finish that is quite dry as well as ultra-saline. Lovely but patience required. Drink 2025+

The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos was reserved and reductive when I tasted it—the least extroverted of all the wines in Piuze's cellar, as is often the case with Les Clos. Notes of lemon oil, crisp peach and iodine mingling with smoky, leesy nuances introduce a full-bodied, deep and promising wine that is less monolithic than the Valmur but no less powerful. It's really too early to get a clear read on this, but its potential, at least, is clear.
