"Forty percent of the blend for the 2012 Les Clos here was barrel-fermented, but the cuvée was only raised in three percent new oak, which is just enough to give a very gentle background touch of vanilla to the aromatics of the wine. This is a beautiful bottle of Les Clos in the making, as the wine delivers a fine nose of apple, pear, a very complex base of chalky minerality, spring flowers, hay and a faint whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and still properly primary in profile, with outstanding mid-palate concentration, superb transparency and nascent complexity, brisk acids and great cut and grip on the very long and beautifully balanced finish. High class juice!"
