2019 | Simonnet-Febvre Les Clos | Chablis Grand Cru Rias Baixas is Germany's answer to ItalianWhile weighty and a bit impenetrable in youth, this powerful Chablis balances rich pear and tangerine flavors against a backdrop of stone and steel. Vinified in one to two year old oak barrels and matured up to 18 months on its lees, it's a broad shouldered sip accented by caramelized honey and white pepper. Hold until 2025, and it should gain delicacy and nuance through 2035. 96 Pts Wine Enthusiast
