96 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Olivier is looking forward to making Les Clos from the domaine again next year (the old vines were pulled out and replanted), but in the interim, his purchased fruit has served him well. This sings with fruit and terroir intensity! This is a big Les Clos with creamy, caramel-drizzled orchard fruits and suavely integrated acidic tension. There is soigné oak here, and it is deftly used. 2024-38. (2022)"
92-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Made from purchased fruit. Mid lemon yellow, lightly grilled hazelnuts, pyrazines, some oak in this which may contribute. The wine behind has plenty of energy but doesn’t compete with Preuses for overall excellence. Still, fine long and ripe with a smoky bacon finish. (Jul 2021)"
92-95 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .44 ha parcel of vines planted in 1966). Subtle but discernible wood blends with ripe yet cool aromas of overtly floral lemon-lime, quinine and oyster shell .The sleek, intense and powerful big-bodied flavors manage to retain a highly appealing refinement along with plenty of minerality that seems to build from the mid-palate to the bitter lemon suffused finale. This could use better depth yet, much like the Valmur, there is sufficient structure and balance to allow this to age well for years. Drink: 2032+. (Oct 2021)"
