Critics Ratings
Clos Naudin Vouvray Sec 2014
'Honeyed on the nose, with subtle quince and mushroom; fresh like snow. Very dry, with a driving mineral core. Understated, reserved and serious but unforgettable. A classical marble statue of a wine.' - Matt Walls, Decanter.com, 94/100
Clos Naudin Vouvray Demi-Sec 2016
' A bright and sunny off-dry wine, with 20 grams per liter residual sugar. Orange zest, tangerine and mango with underlying notes of mint and sage. Swirling acidity on the palate, and a super long finish. Energetic.' - Jason Wilson, Vinous, 93/100 (Jan 2020)
'The sensation of a sun-drenched vintage is unmistakable, with notes of exotic fruits including mango, candied lemon, white flowers and Williams pear. On the palate, the 20g/L of residual sugar are well integrated and the balance is just perfect. A refreshing sensation of tension appears on the finish, providing energy and drive. A superb wine.' - Yohan Castaing, Decanter.com, 94/100 (Nov 2022)
