"The 2008 Chablis Grand Cru Clos is the purists' choice, unfurling in the glass with a classy bouquet of tangerine, lemon oil, oyster liquor and beeswax. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, elegantly glossy and incisive, built around a bright line of acidity that still imparts more tension and energy than is to be found in the 2010 vintage tasted alongside, but it has plenty of concentration and flesh on its structural bones, too. This is a powerful but precise rendition of Les Clos that is still only entering adolescence."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
