Order bottles of Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2024 Hommage à Louis - Jean-Paul et Benoit Droin
The wine : Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos – Homage to Louis
This homage to Louis stands out as one of the most accomplished expressions of Chablis Grand Cru wines. The wine is distinguished by its remarkable precision and power, supported by ample volume and perfectly controlled intensity. Its aromatic profile is very broad: ripe fruit – particularly peach – marine notes of oyster shell, and delicate smoky touches.
On the palate, freshness is striking at first, before giving way to an energetic, profound structure, underpinned by a superb mineral backbone. A slight reduction highlights iodine flavors reminiscent of oyster shell, enhanced by nuances of lemon and flint. The result is a wine of rare complexity, destined for great aging potential.
Terroir: The Clos hillside comprises several soil types derived from Kimmeridgian limestone. The upper section, subject to erosion, offers stony and highly calcareous soils. Further down, the soils become deeper and clayey, while a band of blue clay occupies the middle zone.
