Tasting Notes

**Note: from 7 different parcels of 50+ year old vines that total 1.7 ha**
This is also very restrained, cool and ultra-pure with its reserved aromas of wet stone, lemon peel, white flowers and iodine that are framed by discreet wood hints. 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. A classically styled and proportioned Les Clos.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (56), October 2014

The 2012 Les Clos is a young classic, offering up notes of iodine, white flowers and citrus oil, and a powerful, full-bodied and searingly intense palate, the thick skins which characterized the vintage lending it almost brutish concentration.
