92+ John Gilman - View from the Cellar

"The 2011 Clos de la Barre is excellent, as it jumps from the glass in a stunning mélange of apple, passion fruit, fresh coconut, complex and chalky minerality, almonds, apple blossoms and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and very racy, with a fine core of fruit, lovely backend mineral drive and excellent focus and grip on the very long finish. Just a classic Clos de la Barre in the making, which reminds me very much in terms of size and shape of this wine in the vintages of the late 1970s and early 1980s. 2014-2030+."

"The 2011 Meursault Clos de la Barre was raised in used oak and bottled a little later than Dominique’s other 2011s. It has a generous bouquet that is spicier than the Village Cru with hints of smoked walnut emerging with time. The palate takes the tempo down a notch: mellow, refined and harmonious with beautifully integrated oak and a sumptuous lightly honeyed finish. Lovely. Drink now-2022+"
