The Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos from Lamblin & Fils comes from one of the most famous and sought-after vineyards in all of Chablis. Les Clos is considered one of the region's great Grand Crus – more powerful and profound than many of its neighbors, yet unmistakably Chablis: cool, chalky, precise, and saline.
Located in the far north of Burgundy, Chablis thrives on its cool climate and legendary Kimmeridgean limestone soils. Frost, hail, and significant vintage variations are just as much a part of life here as Chardonnay and limestone. After all, it would be boring if great wines tasted the same every year.
Lamblin & Fils looks back on centuries of family tradition in Chablis. The house's signature is particularly impressively showcased in the Grand Cru Les Clos: concentrated and structured, yet elegant and precise. Citrus, ripe yellow fruit, and fine spice meet a pronounced chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine possesses power and depth, while remaining taut and concluding in a long, mineral-saline finish.
A great Chardonnay from Burgundy that thrives not on loud fruit, but on origin and structure. Anyone who wants to understand why there is so much talk about terroir in Chablis should have Les Clos in their glass. And those who allow it a few years of bottle age will be additionally rewarded.
