"Relatively strong reduction dominates the nose at present and prevents a thorough assessment. By contrast, there is good freshness and ample verve to the exceptionally rich, powerful and borderline massive flavors that enjoy support in the form of a very concentrated mid-palate and a notably firm tannic spine that imparts a chewy texture to the hugely long, mouth coating and tannic finish. This is breathtakingly good though like any self-respecting Clos du Roi, to note that it will need plenty of bottle age is largely superfluous.' - 92-95pts BH

"Subtle but not invisible oak easily allows the liqueur-like black cherry, spice, lavender and a whisper of dried mandarin orange peel to be appreciated. There is excellent density to the sleekly muscular and mineral-driven flavors that possess an even finer mouth feel while delivering notably better depth and length on the powerful and built-to-age finale. This is absolutely going to require extended patience but it should very much be worth the wait." - 92-94pts/Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound

2019  1er Clos des 60 Ouvrees

1er Clos des 60 Ouvrees ---- "Very ripe but agreeably fresh aromas include those of baked plum, anise, clove, violet, lavender and an interesting hint of sandalwood. The sleeker and more refined medium-bodied flavors flash more evident minerality though decidedly less power and muscle on the super-saline infused finish. This is classy, harmonious and a wine that should reward a decade plus of cellaring." - 93pts/Outstanding, Burghound

2019  1er Cru Les Jarollieres

1er Cru Les Jarollieres ---- "This is also beautifully layered with its ripe and equally fresh nose reflects notes of roasted purple fruit, warm earth and an unusual hint of hoisin. The succulent, round and relatively refined flavors possess fine mid-palate volume along with a similar taut muscularity before terminating in a youthfully austere finish that is shaped by a very firm tannic spine. This too is excellent and a wine that should amply repay extended keeping." - 93pts/Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound

Grand Cru ---- "Good deep red. Captivating, perfumed nose offers wild scents of red berries, flowers, minerals and leather. Sappy and sweet on the palate, with lively acidity framing the spicy dark cherry and raspberry flavors. Finishes with powerful but nicely integrated, fine-grained tannins and noteworthy energy and cut. This is already quite expressive but will be even better with a few years of aging and should evolve slowly." - 91-93pts Vinous

2012  Cuvee de la Mesange

Cuvee de la Mesange --"A ripe and very fresh nose features notes of mostly green apple and soft floral hints. There is good concentration and punch to the attractively detailed and intense flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality onto the delicious, balanced and notably dry finish." - Burghound
