【A benchmark Grand Cru Chablis from the revered Les Clos vineyard, renowned for its profound expression of Chardonnay and exceptional aging capacity.】 The 2005 vintage in Chablis was celebrated for its perfect ripening conditions, with hot days and cool nights yielding grapes of superb health and delightful balance. This wine is currently drinking splendidly, right at its peak, offering a complex bouquet of pear, apple, flinty minerality, wet stones, almond, paraffin, and lime peel, with a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate, it's deep, full-bodied, vibrant, and complex, showcasing a lovely core of fruit, excellent mineral undertow, and a superb girdle of acidity leading to a strikingly long, impeccably balanced finish. Expect notes of spicy white flowers, yellow peach, saffron, and a honeyed richness with butter and toast, yet maintaining a precise, racy acidity.

This exquisite Chablis Grand Cru pairs beautifully with delicate seafood. Think pan-seared scallops with a lemon-butter sauce, fresh oysters, steamed crab, or a luxurious lobster thermidor. For an Asian twist, try it with steamed garoupa with ginger and spring onion, or even a refined dim sum selection.
🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH
Perfect for a milestone anniversary, a sophisticated dinner party, or a special celebration where a truly age-worthy and complex white wine is desired. Serve slightly chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F). Given its age, a gentle decanting for 30 minutes might help it open up, but be mindful not to over-aerate. This wine is at its peak but can still hold for several more years.
