Perfect appearance, limpid, intense but lively, relatively light for age; on the nose and on the palate a wonderfully precise expression of Les Clos in a hot vintage; has all the seashell minerality of the terroir, energy is perhaps slightly lower than usual and so is the acidity, but the balance is impeccable, the fruit slightly ripe than usual and there is a hint of butter; intense and stylish, hint of bitters, warmth from the older oak, lovely weight and wonderful depth, subtle; very good length. Accessible now, ten more years in it. Drink now - 2023.
Golden colour, ruddy even; deep nose, oxidative style but not oxidised, confit apricot and plum, great depth and surprising minerality; lovely weight on the palate, supple and rounded, soft and fleshy, herbs and fresh ripe fruit; very good length.
Wonderfully expressive nose, very pure and clean, fresh, cherries with a hint of spice and of the stems, good depth; on the palate supple and juicy, elegant weight, clean flavours, ripe fruit, lovely minerality and freshness, harmonious, supported by ripe tannins; good length.
First vintage to be produced under its own name by this 20ha family estate on the border between Alba and Asti. Refreshing and elegant, sweet and bubbly, floral and delicious.
