Robert Parker

“La Closerie 2017 features notes of oak, cedar, and cooking spices, along with a blend of crushed pepper and ripe blueberries. Full-bodied and supple, with an almost creamy texture, it is long and smooth, while retaining a welcome sense of freshness.” (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)

The 2017 Closerie offers aromas of oak, cedar, and cooking spices—a blend of crushed pepper and ripe blueberries. Full-bodied and supple, with an almost creamy texture, it is long and smooth, while retaining a welcome sense of freshness.
