A clear bright lemon yellow. Only a mite of oak evident, alongside the evidently powerful classic and concentrated white fruit. Plenty on offer on the second half of the palate, ripe citrus notes again, nothing too heavy. The terroir provides adequate acidity. Drink from 2027-2036.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 92-95\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94pts Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich and luxurious, this impresses with pronounced aromas of ripe pear and nectarine with a strong undercurrent of oyster shell and spice. The texture is dense and powerful, and the wine is pleasant in cask but ideally should age for a decade before it will disclose its secrets. The walled clos on the lower slopes of the eastern edge of Les Clos was purchased by the Moreau family 120 years ago, in 1904. The grapes are fermented in cask to deliver this powerful, long-lived wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94pts James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpressive nose of chalk and blossoms. Creamy and tight-knit, with a medium to full body and a long, supple finish.

Its power is tempered and extended by the vibrant acidity. There’s excellent balance and intensity.

This is animated. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, more nervosité and precision here and hints of white peach and yuzu toward the finish. The 2023 is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cuvee has the finess of les Clos and shows more richness and spicy flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs perfectly with scallops, lobster, fine fish, white meat, cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54177778663788,"sku":"089744423924","price":219.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/christian-moreau-chablis-grand-cru-clos-des-hospices-2023-750ml-824266.jpg?v=1786419898","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/louis-moreau-chablis-grand-cru-clos-des-hospices-2023-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
