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 velvety, while retaining a welcome sense of freshness.” (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)

Review by Mr. JACQUES R. Posted on 10/22/2021

This vintage showcases the appellation’s progress. Light and delightful—you’ll want more... October 2021: the wine has gained even more depth while remaining easy to drink—superb!
