2022 Domaine Christian Moreau Pere & Fils Les Clos ‘Clos des Hospices’ Chablis Grand Cru, France

The 2022 Chablis Les Clos Clos des Hospices is half fermented in barrel and half in tank before being transferred into the latter for the last six months. Its well-defined bouquet is more precise than the regular cuve, with oyster shell-infused citrus fruit, apple blossom, and hints of grilled walnut coming through with time in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced and precise but stricter than the regular cuve. Very saline towards the finish, with great depth, this is another very impressive wine from what might be Chablis’s most underestimated producer. – Neal Martin
