Showing just as beautifully as the bottle I had a few months ago, popped and poured without decant and its aromatics immediately jump from the glass. It’s deep, intense and structured but at the same time it is so elegant and finessed. I remember thinking with the last bottle, and again here, that there is a “wildness” to this Monopole that makes it so intriguing. Really a lovely bottle that’s in a perfect place. Always a treat drinking CLB.

Clos des Grandes Vignes is a stunning Monopole. Its gorgeous aromatics leap from the glass. Aromatics that are so signature of CLB. It’s always such a treat to recognize. It’s deep, intense and structured but has such elegance and transparency to it at the same time, and it just caresses your palate with every sip. There’s also an alluring wildness to this wine that I find so intriguing. No decant needed, opens up in the glass and couldn’t be more rewarding both on the nose and the palate. Beautiful wine.

Youthful, but so unbelievably good. Amazing concentration and balanced power.
