James Suckling: 96 Points- A big, rounded and generous wine that wraps fine-grained tannins around gorgeous red and black fruit on a full body. Clos des Ursules is a monople of Jadot’s and one of the vineyards they have used for generations. Opens with spicy cinnamon, cloves and toast, then vivid raspberries, red plums and mint on the palate. Drink or hold.

 

Jasper Morris: 93-95 Points- Fresh purple of medium depth. Much the liveliest bouquet with its concentration of raspberries, very complete and absolutely delicious. The finish continues gorgeously, this will make a beautiful bottle with a little patience. This Clos des Ursules shows the classic peacock’s fantail of aromatics. Drink from 2030-2038.

 

Tim Atkin: 94 Points- Blueberries, cranberry compote and orange zest blend with floral tones and wild herbs. Classy and refined on the mid-weight palate, the tannins are remarkably smooth. Vibrant acidity leads the finish that tacks on some crushed stone notes. This clos sits in Vignes Franches and has been owned by the Jadot family for almost two hundred years.
