John Gilman 94+ The 2014 Clos des Chênes is gorgeous on both the nose and palate. The bouquet offers up a young and refined blend of red plums, cherries, gamebird, a touch of nutskin, fine minerality, cocoa and a nice topnote of gentle floral nuances. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and sappy at the core, with superb transparency, suave tannins and a long, pure and tangy finish. Classic Clos des Chênes. (Drink between 2026 - 2075)
Jasper Morris 93 pts! Bright colour, quite dense, as yet ungiving bouquet. There is a huge amount in this wine, it builds substantially to the back. For a difficult vintage, this displays an amazing wealth of muscular fruit, definitely a wine for the long term.
