Simmonet-Febvre, Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2021

The wine has a pale lemon-yellow color. The nose is subtle, but complex and refined. It offers notes of ripe citrus fruits (yellow lemon, grapefruit juice and zest), crunchy stone fruits (white peach, tart apricot, ripe green plum), a fine touch of passion fruit, as well as notes of hay, dried thyme, wildflowers, acacia and lime blossom. There is also a delicate touch of fresh yeast, fresh bread, acacia honey and mild spices in the background (nutmeg, cloves and a touch of vanilla in the background). On the palate, the wine is chiseled, tangy, with a lot of energy and complexity. It expresses notes of ripe citrus fruits (yellow lemon, lime, a hint of grapefruit), ripe green plum, crisp white peach, as well as delicate and integrated herbaceous notes (lemon thyme, hay), floral notes (acacia, wild flowers), a touch of yeast and fresh bread (in the background), fine spicy notes (nutmeg, clove), a fine smokiness, as well a saline and iodised minerality on the finish. Beautiful freshness and complexity, a long and tangy finish.
