Pascal Bouchard 2015 Les Clos Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes (Chablis)
#84 Top 100 Cellar Selections 2018
Return to List The small production of this wine comes from old vines at the heart of one of the top Grand Cru Chablis vineyards. As such, it has plenty to say for itself, with rich apricot and pineapple fruit and intense acidity all topped by toast from wood aging. This wine is worth cellaring; drink from 2021. Roger Voss
