"The 2012 Clos du Bourg Sec is a stunning young vintage of this iconic wine. The bouquet is pure, complex and youthfully vibrant, as it jumps from the glass in a mélange of apple, sweet quince, bee pollen, lanolin, the most profound minerality of these three superb Sec bottlings, incipient notes of honeycomb and a touch of orange blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, pure, full-bodied and stunning to the core, with brisk, seamless acids, laser-like focus and absolutely stunning length and grip on the young and soil-driven finish. A great wine in the making."j
