Robert Parker

"The 2017 Closerie is composed of oak, cedar, and baking spices, a blend of crushed pepper and ripe blueberries. Full-bodied and supple, with an almost creamy texture, it is long and mellow, while retaining a welcome sensation of freshness." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)

Note and opinion by Mr. JACQUES R. Published on 10/22/2021

This vintage demonstrates the progress made by the appellation. Light and enjoyable, you'll want more... October 2021, the wine has gained even more concentration while retaining its drinkability—superb!
