Description

The Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis Clos des Hospices Grand Cru is the pinnacle of the domaine's wines, with richness, elegance and length all in abundance.

With ideal exposure and an average vine age of over 50 years, this grand cru is ripe and powerful, with finely interlaced acidity, body and length all working together to create a sumptuous wine. Peach, honeycomb, citrus, pastry, white flowers and orange zest are just some of the aromas and flavours you'll be greeted with.

Unlike many other grand crus Chablis, the Clos des Hospices is aged only in tank, not in barrel, with the richness coming from exposure to lees and the grapes' natural properties.

Clos des Hospices dans les Clos is a family monopole, property of the Moreau family since 1904, date of its acquisition by Louis’ great-great-grand-father. In the past, this single parcel was enclosed within walls of dry stones and belonged to the monks of Chablis Hospices,hence its name of 'Clos des Hospices'.


Grand Cru Clos des Hospices is located within Les Clos and it produces exceptional wines, displaying great generosity. Its nose is full and expressive, with a nice minerality confirmed by an elegant length in the finish.

95 Points - "This is stunning. A richer and more expressive and more exuberant nose than the regular Les Clos bottling. A complete array of yellow stone fruit and citrus fruit on show here. The palate has a very fleshy and very smooth, white-nectarine and white-peach core. Long, sleek and elegant." James Suckling

94 Points - "As usual, the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos is richer and broader than the domaine's regular Les Clos, revealing a lavish bouquet of peaches, honeycomb, yellow orchard fruit, fresh pastry and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, though balanced by lively acids and concluding with a penetrating finish. The choice between the two is more a matter of taste than of quality." William Kelley (Wine Advocate)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
