Domaine des Malandes - Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' - 2021

This is even more aromatically restrained and decidedly cooler as well with its aromas of green apple, white flower, oyster shell, quinine and slightly more evident wood influence. The exceptionally rich, even opulent, big-bodied flavors also coat the palate with sappy dry extract that buffers the citrus-tinged acidity shaping the long and powerful if slightly woody finale. I wouldn't be too concerned about the wood treatment as this wine has an excellent track record in successfully integrating the oak. Sweet Spot 92-94 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
