93 RJ "The foremost Clos du Moulin I have tasted! A wonderful wine with heaps of Chardonnay notes. Pure bouquet of the most delightful nut chocolate, toasted bread, and grain. Perfect balance and great depth in its lemony-fresh flavor." 89 WS "This one has it all in good proportions: creamy texture, freshly cut ripe apples and a touch of bread dough on the finish."
