Chablis Les Clos Laroche 2016 (750ML)

94 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2016 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru comes from the bottom and mid-slope part of the vineyard and is aged 100% in used demi-muids. It is blessed with one of my favourite bouquets from Laroche this year: beautifully entwined scents of white flower, oyster shell and gunflint, touches of wet granite and struck flint coming through with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, the wood exquisitely enmeshed with the fruit and delivering a wonderful, precise, slightly nutty, smoky finish. Superb! (Drink between 2020-2036)" 08/18

92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A background hint of honey frames the cool, pure and airy aromas of various white-fleshed fruit, quinine and floral wisps. There is good density to the nicely mineral-inflected and relatively supple flavors possess focused power on the citrus, clean, tangy and notably dry finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. I like the complexity and while this should age gracefully, it's not so tightly wound that it couldn't be enjoyed young." 10/18, Issue #72
