96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Soft and lightly buttery, Les Clos seduces with its smoothness. A veritable ball of fruit, it imposes the fleshy depth of the vintage but also the imprint of its terroir. A wine for laying down. (2025)"
95 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "The 2022 is the first vintage to come from Billaud-Simon's plot replanted in 2018 and not harvested until now, at the eastern end of Les Clos adjacent to Blanchot. Half was matured in wood, but Bailly comments: 'Les Clos will consume the wood easily.' Great drive – amazing for just five-year-old vines. Layers of flavour with great purity. Will be worth following this as the vines gain additional age. Drinking Window: 2025-2034. (10/18/23)"
95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This is a big Les Clos with powerful perfume, heady palate density, ramrod straight acidity and a seemingly limitless finish. However, it's a bit wrapped up in itself at the moment and needs time to unfurl. Lurking beneath the surface are ample layers of lean citrus fruit, hazelnuts, vanilla bean yogurt and some pithy quinine. (2024)"
92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Mostly from purchased grapes, along with their own small plot at the top of the hill, replanted in 2018. Pale fresh lemon colour. A slightly soapy powerful white fruit, as if not all integrated. Some spice, as yet very unknit. Drink from 2028-2038. Tasted: July 2023."
