Le Grand Clos Chardonnay 2022 possesses a clear, canary yellow colour, some yellow florals, with crystallized lemon rind and truffle-scented, classy lemon oil on the bouquet: - one senses the fruit power that lies underneath the huge pear and citrus-chalky mouth feel with its notable poise and depth. Here the low-tide, seashell, mineral/saline notes are hidden under the dense, noble fruit that is in itself in austere and hidden. Wow! – An incredible feat, and typical of Le Grand Clos! The tense acidity belies the rich fruit, and on the long finish, I am transported to thinking about the future by the deft minerality tucked into the plush yet tight fruit!
