2021 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Hommage a Louis (Les Clos) Chablis Grand Cru

Other Reviews....
Like the Grenouilles, there is enough wood to merit mentioning but not enough to overshadow the cool, airy and very fresh aromas of oyster shell, white flower and ocean breeze. The succulent yet powerful and delineated flavors brim with both minerality and dry extract, all wrapped in a driving bitter lemon-inflected and youthfully austere finale. This is a lovely combination of power and refinement that should amply repay a decade plus of cellaring. Drink through 2031+.

The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a clean and precise bouquet, flint and chalk filtering through the citrus fruit, gaining intensity as it opens in the glass, though I feel the Grenouilles has more sophistication. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, very harmonious, nicely poised with a dab of stem ginger and white pepper towards the finish that is resolutely classic in style. Very fine. Drink 2024-2046.

This should be Les Clos but there is still a dispute in place with officialdom as to whether or not one of the plots counts as Les Clos or Valmur. I would side with Benoît and Les Clos. Incidentally, he has found out more about the soil through the laying of electric cables to warm the wines when it freezes. There is an unexpected amount of blue clay along with the classic slabs of limestone. The 2021 Hommage a Louis has a very classy nose, a really beautiful expression of Clos. There is a magical, lean intensity on the palate. Perhaps it is not as immediately stunning as the 2021 Grenouilles, but this will live to make old bones. Drink from 2027-2036.
