Still in its youth, Les Clos is built for ageing. Deep and complex on the palate, the structure is taut, lively and firm. Its sun-drenched fruit aromas provide perfect balance. A great wine in the making!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2020 guide) 17/20 + Coup de Coeur (Vintage 2017) (Great wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) New domaine (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
With 29 hectares of vines (certified organic in 2018), this domaine, founded in 2016, is based on the vineyard kept by Romain and Damien Bouchard, the children of Pascal Bouchard, who in 2015 sold his trading business to the Albert Bichot house. In the grounds of a beautiful Chablis mansion, an underground cellar was built to house hand-harvested grapes, vinified with indigenous yeasts and with no input other than a little sulfur after pressing and at bottling. With 1.5 hectares in Grand Cru (Clos, Blanchot, Vaudésir), 8 hectares in Premier Cru (including Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu and Vau de Vey), and the rest in Chablis and Petit Chablis, this address has everything it takes to become a sure bet in the appellation. The generous, ripe wines may disconcert fans of refined Chablis, but they are renewing the local landscape.
