"The 2016 Les Clos from Vincent Dauvissat is another stellar wine in the making, with the low yields of the vintage here manifesting in a more powerful and bracingly youthful grand cru. The bouquet is a classic mix of lemon, pear, citrus peel, flinty minerality, fruit blossoms and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with racy acids, a huge spine of minerality and a very, very long, snappy and still quite primary finish. Of the two Dauvissat grand crus in 2016, the les Preuses will provide more enjoyment early, despite the fact that both wines deserve to be forgotten in the cellar for at least the next five years! For those who put a bit more premium on power in their grand cru Chablis, the plus sign can be appended here, but my heart has to give the slight nod to the more ethereal and potential elegant les Preuses here in this marvelous vintage."
