Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Domaine des Malandes 2022

Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, Domaine des Malandes, Burgundy, France, 2022

Grape: 100% Chardonnay, 0.53ha vineyard planted in 1962, hand picked, fermented in oak barrels (10% new wood), aged in steel tanks for 12-14 months

Powerful, elegant, with a pure and fresh attack. Good length in the mouth. A memorable wine.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Matured in a mix of 500-liter oak and 228-liter steel barrels, the 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is deep and layered, exhibiting aromas of pear, white flowers, blanched almonds and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with attractive purity of fruit and bright balancing acids, it underlines this estate's continued progress." Drink 2025 - 2040

94/100 points, William Kelley, WINE ADVOCATE, September 2023

Also awarded 91/100 points, Allen Meadows, BURGHOUND
