"A landmark wine with dazzling fruit expression"

Wine Enthusiast • 99/100

"This hyper-specific expression of the grand cru Les Clos focuses on a miniscule single plot purchased from the Hospices of Chablis in 1904. While rich and penetrating with sun-soaked Mirabelle and yellow-apple flavors, it’s catapulted by a streak of grapefruit acidity and reverberating oyster-shell crush. A landmark wine with dazzling fruit expression, it’s a bit nervous in youth still but should approach peak from 2024 and improve well through 2040. "

"Superb."

Vinous • 95/100

"The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru Clos des Hospices comes from 45- to 60-year-old vines that yielded 40hl this year, and is matured in a mixture of 1- to 4-year-old barrels. It has a gorgeous bouquet of honeysuckle, yellow flowers, crushed stone and light quince aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and crisp, with touches of almond and dried honey toward the persistent finish. Superb."
