Domaine Faiveley Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' is a highly regarded wine from the Chablis region in Burgundy, France. As a Grand Cru, it represents the pinnacle of quality and is known for its exceptional expression of the Chardonnay grape. On the nose, this wine exhibits enticing aromas of ripe citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with subtle floral notes and a touch of minerality. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a crisp acidity that brings freshness and vibrancy to the wine. Flavors of green apple, pear, and white peach are complemented by hints of flint and a lingering saline finish. The terroir of 'Les Clos' plays a significant role in shaping the character of this wine. The vineyard's south-facing exposure allows for optimal sunlight exposure, resulting in grapes that are fully ripened and packed with flavor. The Kimmeridgian limestone soil, typical of the Chablis region, imparts a distinct mineral quality to the wine, adding complexity and depth. Domaine Faiveley is renowned for its meticulous winemaking practices, ensuring that only the finest grapes are selected and handled with care. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which adds subtle nuances of vanilla and spice, enhancing the overall complexity. With its exceptional quality and aging potential, Domaine Faiveley Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' is a wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years to allow further development. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, particularly shellfish, as well as creamy cheeses.
