Alain Geoffroy Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2022
THE EYE: Pale gold in colour with green glints. Bright, luminous and limpid.
THE NOSE: Evolves in purity and elegance. We discover with pleasure the sweetness and mellowness thought fresh notes of citrus, menthol and fern, rounded by gourmet notes of vanilla.
THE MOUTH: expresses power, delicacy, mellowness and character on a clearly mineral background that only aging can balance. A delicate hint of oak and a very long finish that gives us enough time to appreciate this wonderful moment of tasting.
