2019 Jean-Paul Droin Chablis Grand Cru Clos

Media Reviews

Neal Martin

The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a beautifully defined, very composed bouquet featuring hints of Japanese yuzu, white peach, fennel and a touch of white asparagus. The palate is very well defined with a spicy entry, good weight, a little more rondeur than the Valmur and a saline finish. Excellent. 93 points

Jasper Morris MW

Pale brilliant clear colour, a nose of immense quality, little touches of iodine in with the pure white fruit. Stone fruit with, some shellfish touches. The warmth of the vintage shows in the opulence of the wine, which is in no way denatured. This is exceptionally persistent, a great Clos indeed. Superb, a wine, which should hold together for decades. 94-97 points

Allen Meadows

A wonderfully broad nose features notes of oyster shell, white flowers, iodine, yellow orchard fruit and a whiff of quinine. The intense and palate coating larger-scaled flavors exude evident minerality on the focused, very firm and impressively persistent finish. This needs to develop better depth, but the solid acid spine makes clear that this is a wine to put away and forget for at least 5 to 7 years. 93 points
