2007 Vincent Dauvissat (Rene & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 750ml

Reviews: 95 points Wine Advocate, "...seems palpably stony and chalky, yet boasts considerable gloss. It also displays a mollusk broth like dimension, here allied to sense of weight and sheer extract that none of the premier crus in this collection can claim. Hints of lanolin and vanilla make one aware of the barrel presence, and a toasted nut element helps lend a sense of richness as well as piquancy to what is otherwise a decidedly mineral-dominated as well as formidably long finish. (DS)" 98 points John Gilman, "The bouquet is closed and bottomless, as it offers up scents of apple, lime, grapefruit zest, a touch of Chablisienne hay and a kaleidoscope of minerality that runs the gambit from wet stones to crystalline minerals to intense flinty notes. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and very intensely flavored, with brilliant mid-palate depth, bracing acidity, laser-like focus and simply awesome cut and grip on the very, very long and soil-driven finish.
