Vinification Methods: Grand Cru Les Clos parcel is handpicked, like all our 1ers Crus and Grands Crus and handsorted before being pressed. We generally start picking in Grands Crus parcels first because the grapes ripen earlier thanks to their ideal exposure.
We vinified Grand Cru Les Clos in stainless steel tanks for both al- coholic fermentation, activated with indigenous yeasts for 18 to 25 days at low temperature (18°C) and malolactic fermentation, thanks to natural bacteria at 20°C for a few months.
Aging Methods: Since vintage 2013, our Grand Cru Les Clos will age only in tank, on fine lees, with minimum intervention, to let it express all its minerality and purity. Then the cuvee will go through a light filtration and bottling.
Generally, the bottling takes place 18-20 months after harvest.
Tasting notes:
Grand Cru Les Clos is the most renowned of the 7 Grands Crus in Chablis. It produces dry but generous & powerful wines.
It develops a very mineral bouquet, displaying an elegant fineness and impressive length in the mouth.
