Dauvissat Chablis Le Clos Grand Cru 2018

Decanter: The Dauvissat holdings have been reduced to three parcels now - two above the road and one below it - but there has been no corresponding drop in the quality of this superb wine. Still showing quite a bit of oak at this young age, it has salty, savoury, iodine-scented intensity, impressive concentration and the energy and balance to age superbly in bottle. Always one of the best wines in the appellation. 96/100 (2019)

Parker: Aromas of pear, green apple and citrus oil mingling with hints of fresh bread and oyster shell introduce Dauvissat's 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, a full-bodied, layered wine that's ample and elegantly muscular, girdled by bright acids and revealing more overt structure than Les Preuses at this stage. Concluding with a long, chalky finish, even in the demonstrative 2018 vintage, this will merit a bit of patience. 95+/100 (2021)

James Suckling: Aromas of smoke, minerals and touches of cream, lemon curd and some spices. Almost full-bodied and a bit shy on the nose, with roundness, density and a sleek texture. Fluffier at the end, with rich saltiness. Drink in two or three years. 95/100 (2026)
