Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Pinson Frères (Domaine) 1982

The wine

Chablis Grand Cru "Les Clos" Domaine Pinson is characterised by the chalky minerality of its Climat's subsoil; it has a nose of flowers and citrus fruit aromas while on the palate its aromas are very long-lasting. This is a wine which is designed to be aged and its finest vintages can be enjoyed in 20 years time.

This domaine, which belonged to the Pinson family and whose origins go back to 1640, is now run by the two brothers Laurent and Christophe Pinson, and Charlène (Laurent's daughter) who joined them in 2008. Major works were undertaken in 2004, including the construction of a new fermentation cell, the expansion of the storage buildings and the installation of a new pressing room. The vineyard extends over 12 hectares and uses one tenth of the "Les Clos" climat, the average age of the vines is 35 years old, the harvest is manual and the grapes harvested first ferment in vats and then in barrels.
