Robert Parker
"La Closerie 2017 features oak, cedar and baking spices, a blend of cracked pepper and ripe blueberries. Full-bodied and supple, with an almost creamy texture, it's long and mellow, yet retains a welcome sense of freshness." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)

This cuvée demonstrates the appellation's progress. Lightness and pleasure, we want more... October 2021, the wine has gained in concentration while retaining its drinkability, superb!
