The Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos comes from the largest and arguably the most celebrated of Chablis' seven Grand Cru vineyards, this exceptional site was already recognised by medieval monks as one of the finest vineyard locations in the region. The name "Les Clos" refers to the stone walls that once enclosed the vineyard. During the 1960s, when Chablis was being revived after the devastation of phylloxera, Robert Drouhin became one of the first Burgundy proprietors to invest in this outstanding terroir. Kimmeridgian limestone packed with ancient marine fossils gives the wine its extraordinary depth, minerality and incomparable finesse.

Appearance: Pale golden yellow with delicate green highlights.

Nose: Elegant aromas of lily, honey and preserved lemon.

Palate: Remarkable depth and a rich, velvety texture balanced by vibrant minerality and delicate marine notes. The finish is exceptionally long and intense. After five to six years, the wine develops even greater complexity and refinement.
