Jasper Morris 94-96 pts! Clean fresh clear colour with an incisive chiselled nose, Les Clos doing its stuff. Much more together than the other grands crus on the nose. Fruit builds on backbone and acidity, a pleasing warmth rather than a dangerous heat, plenty of weight here and very good length. Lovely fruit acid balance.
Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 94+ pts! The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is full-bodied, textural and muscular, evocative of citrus zest, crisp green apple, white flowers, freshly baked bread, almond paste and ripe peaches. Layered and concentrated, it's the richest, broadest wine in the range, yet it remains nicely defined.
Burghound 93 pts! The nose instantly makes clear that this could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its aromas of iodine, oyster shell, brine, citrus zest and green apple. The intense, powerful and focused larger-scaled flavors possess terrific delineation while exhibiting strikingly good length on the chiseled, youthfully austere and lemony finish that is like rolling small rocks around in the mouth. Despite the excellent upside development potential, this is not so backward that it couldn't be enjoyed after only a few years. (Drink starting 2030)
