Brocard 2012 Chablis "Les Clos" Grand Cru 1.5L

(bottled in March) Pale yellow. Captivating bright, pure, complex nose is dominated by iodine and powdered stone. Less powerful than the Valmur but sharply delineated, with terrific cut and depth to its saline, fine-grained lemon, mineral and iodine oyster shell flavors. Finishes wonderfully long and tactile, with terrific subtle perfume. Manages to be very rich without coming across as thick, in the way of the best examples of this great grand cru. This has delivered on its early promise but will require patience.

Score: 94+ points -- Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2010
