April 13, 2024 - Decanted for 30 minutes, chilled. The color was a clear medium yellow. Citrus and mineral notes, along with a touch of white flowers on the nose. The medium plus bodied palate showed lots of lemon, some minerality, and notes of green apple and saline. The acidity was quite vibrant and there was a hint (just a hint) of some lemon pith on the finish. No premox (whew!) but maybe (just maybe) a sign of age?!

November 22, 2023 - It's a tasty Chardonnay all right and demonstrably superior to the Premier Cru Vaulorant Premier Cru along side it. Still, it's rather soft and friendly without the cut, acidity or minerality I was seeking. At least was pale with no hint of premox.

October 23, 2022 - Decanted for 30 minutes -- I finally referred to my previous TNs for this wine. It is truly a pleasure to not have a flawed bottle of this wine. A clear light golden yellow color in the glass. Plenty of lemon, and a fair dose of stony minerality, along with some white flowers on the nose. A medium+ mouthfeel, with a good dose of lemon curd and some apple, along with a stony/seashell minerality, and mouth-cleansing acidity. A fine example of Les Clos that should remain attractive for several more years.

September 7, 2022 - Medium deep gold. Rich, ripe, mature nose. That old varnish aroma that I can't quite describe accurately. On the palate, still plenty fresh, but also matured to perfection, this is right in its wheelhouse. Great, smooth mouthfeel. Long finish. Balanced and solid. Beautiful wine.
