VertdeVin
The nose reveals notes of truffle and ripe fruit associated with a few light notes of spices as well as touches of undergrowth and a slight animal note. The palate is harmonious, smooth, fresh, racy, mineral, balanced, suave and offers some complexity. In the mouth it expresses notes of blackberry, cherry and slight notes of crushed strawberry associated with slight notes of flowers as well as small woody notes. Tannins are fine and firm. Good length.
James Suckling
The purity of fruit is impressive with blueberry, blackberry and currant character. Medium to full body, a dense center palate, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. Drink or hold.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
As I wrote when I tasted this 2014 La Clotte from barrel, Pauline Vauthier regards this as the first official vintage of the wine now part of the the family's portfolio. It was raised in the same cooperages as Ausone with a very low toasting. The bouquet is very precise and focused with vivacious, very focused, mineral-laden red fruit, whilst retaining a sense of elegance and translating the terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, again, very elegant yet intense and full of energy. It has a slightly chalky texture, the finish precise and persistent in the mouth. This is a very impressive debut that surpasses my expectation from barrel. Though unknown on the market, I suspect that this will not be the case for too much longer.
