Tasting Note:
James Suckling 96 points!
This is a mind-bending white that blends richness and energy. Loads of dried ripe fruits, toffee, citrus and hints of toasted oak and creme. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with amazing intensity and length. The vivacity and compression of this wine is really so, so exciting. Don´t miss this.

Tasting Note:
Wine Spectator 93 points!
Alluring aromas of citronella, buttered pastry and vanilla introduce this supple, harmonious white. Grace notes of lemon and toast add depth, while a mineral element chimes in on the long finish. Drink now through 2023.

Tasting Note:
International Wine Cellar 93 points!
Bright yellow. Gingery peach, toast, crushed stone and smoky minerality on the slightly reduced nose. Rich, sweet and plush, with a touch of spice to the ripe, smoky stone fruit flavors. Boasts an almost glyceral sweetness today, but this very young wine needs time in bottle to lose some of its baby fat. Philippe Drouhin notes that this wine always gets reductive during elevage and that this quality takes at least a year in bottle to dissipate. He likes Clos des Mouches old, pointing out that the 2004 and 2002 bottlings are still young. But then Drouhin admits that he generally prefers older wines because he dislikes the aromas and flavors of new oak.
