Winemaker Notes: Simonnet-Febvre Grand Cru Les Clos reveals green hues in the glass with a complex nose of exotic fruits, hazelnuts, and vanilla. An ample mouthfeel is balanced by a linear tension and a mineral finish. Initially very closed, this wine always develops exceptionally well over time without losing its minerality. It is the most masculine and uniquely characterful of the Grand Cru wines that require ageing. The king of the Grands Crus appellation: a rich, luscious wine with great complexity of flavours. The wine, above all other, for keeping.
Drink with grilled fish or fish in sauce, grilled white meats or white meats in cream-based sauces.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "A chalkiness on the nose of this wine blends with freshly cut lime zest, creating a vivid mix of aromas. Although the palate tones this down, it still holds immense chalky depth and freshness, despite the vintage's ripeness. The body is generous but lifted, with a hint of lanolin accentuating the richness. This wine will be even more beautiful and chalky with age."
James Suckling - "Aromas of waxed lemon, apricot, dried apple and a touch of praline, followed by almonds on the palate. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a smooth, almost waxy texture. Flavorful and dense with lingering, toasted-almond notes. Subtle and very long. Drink or hold."
