Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2007

Bright pale yellow. Subtle scents of pear skin, anise and fresh-cut hay. Juicy, dry and uncompromising, with excellent inner-palate energy to the flavors of dusty stone and lime zest. The most brisk, vibrant and penetrating of these 2005s-but then this is Les Clos! Finishes with excellent lift for the vintage.

Score 90-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2006

(from purchased must; the Brocards will buy the grapes in 2006) Pale, green-tinged color. Pure, steely, perfumed aromas of lime and minerals. Dense, suave and vibrant, with penetrating lemon-lime and mineral flavors. Very elegant wine with excellent lift. Finishes with a hint of spicy oak (25% of the wine was aged in once-used barrels) and very good verve. More typical of the vineyard than the vintage.
