94 points Emma Jenkins MW (Decanter): "Plenty of personality and great value here. After an initially sweet-fruited nose with plum, blackberry, cranberry, vanilla and a hint of smoky iodine, comes a savoury, textural palate. This is quite a rich wine with more than a hint of earth and forest floor complexity. There’s a lot more going on than just fruity charm and its palate really shines with excellent balance and structure, settling happily into the glass with additional time and air. Dry-farmed and organic, Clos Henri is owned by Sancerre’s Bourgeois family. Drink 2024-2030. (08/18/24)."
92 points Christina Pickard (Wine Enthusiast) "There's a slightly funky, natty vibe to this drink-now Pinot from biodynamic champion Clos Henri. A few good swirls in the glass allow room for the ripe strawberry, red currant and floral notes to shine amid the more vegetal, earthy ones like asparagus fronds and truffle. The palate is supple and fruity with al dente freshness and ripe—even juicy—tannins. (10/1/24)."
90 points Erin Larkin (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Pinot Noir is quite reductive upon opening and really requires much vigorous swirling to coax it from its shell. On the palate, lacy cherry notes mingle with garden rose and red apple skins, while the tannins are chalky, fine and a little chewy. This is a lovely wine, but if your bottle is like mine, it will require either a decant or some patience. The juice is worth the squeeze, though. Recommended. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2024-2032. (02/06/25)."
