This is also reduced and toasty on the nose. Otherwise, the rich, powerful and imposingly concentrated larger-scaled flavors brim with both sappy dry extract and minerality on the massively persistent, balanced and agreeably dry finale. I generally don't find a great deal of qualitative difference between the Hospices and the regular cuvée but in 2021 the Hospices has just bit more overall depth, at least at this early juncture. Drink through 2033+. 93-95 points Allen Meadows - Burghound The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Clos des Hospices feels more closed than the regular cuvée, but there is just a little more flintiness that develops with aeration in the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, very harmonious and poised, though I am just seeking a little more grip on the finish. Maybe this year I might err more towards the regular cuvée. Drink 2025-2048. 92-94 points Neal Martin - Vinous A tiny bit more colour than Les Clos with a little bit more fruit weight but less elegance than the classical bottling. Some perfume here, richer and seemingly riper with some suggestion of peaches, followed by salinity. Drink from 2026-2032. 91-94 points Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy
