91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is excellent, wafting from the glass with notes of lemon, mandarin and pastry cream. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chewy and structured, with impressive concentration and depth, concluding with a bright, stony finish. (WK) (8/2018)
94 points James Suckling
Very powerful and very composed with an array of ripe peaches and melon. Lime and apples, too. The palate’s really succulent, powerful and rich. Super complete and complex. A fresh finish. Drink or hold. (7/2018)
