RATINGS

97+ Stephen Tanzer

Compellingly pure and electric in the mouth, with its superb mineral density leavened by citrus and floral flavors. Boasts an uncanny combination of supple texture and sheer stony cut.

96+ Vinous / IWC

The 2012 Chablis Les Clos is all about depth, intensity and tightly coiled minerality.

94Burghound.com

There is excellent power and punch to the intensely mineral-driven medium weight flavors that do a slow build into an amazing crescendo on the bone dry and explosive finale.

92The Wine Advocate

The palate is extremely well-balanced with a touch of dried apricot and peach skin on the entry before being usurped by gentle spicy notes that lead to the tense finish.
