✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the most famous and historic of the Chablis Grand Cru vineyards, Joseph Drouhin's Les Clos is a masterclass in the expression of Kimmeridgian limestone. The name 'Les Clos' refers to the stone walls that historically enclosed this prized hillside, which has been cultivated since the Middle Ages by the monks of Saint Martin of Tours. Drouhin's parcels in this legendary amphitheater benefit from optimal southern exposure, yielding Chardonnay of immense power, structure, and chiseled minerality. The wine is fermented and aged with great care, utilizing a judicious blend of stainless steel and seasoned French oak barrels to preserve the pristine, oyster-shell salinity and intense white flower aromas that define this iconic terroir.
