Robert Parker
"Closerie Grand Blanc de Lavabre 2018 presents a toasty nose reminiscent of flambéed orange zest. Flavors of melon and pear round out the medium-bodied palate, while notes of crushed stone appear on the finish. Complex and flavorful, it should drink well for at least 2-3 years." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)
