Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

In the glass

Aroma: citrus, oyster shell, white flower, mineral

Palate: lemon, green apple, chalk, saline

Unoaked Les Clos of pure transparency, intensely mineral and saline with citrus and oyster shell.

What it pairs with

• Chablis oysters
  The wine's saline, oyster-shell minerality is the textbook match for raw oysters on ice.
• Roast turbot in beurre blanc
  A rich grand-cru white carries the firm white fish and its buttery sauce without being overwhelmed.
• Quenelle de brochet sauce Nantua Find quenelle de brochet sauce nantua on TableJourney →
  The dumpling's creamy crayfish sauce meets a taut white Burgundy that cuts the richness and lifts the shellfish.
