92-93 JS / 92 AG / 91 VM
Very clear and mineral with a firm, lightly chalky tannin structure. Plenty of blue fruit and stones. Long and structured. Firm yet fresh at the end. - James Suckling
Clos Lunelles is the hidden gem in the Perse portfolio. It is especially fine in 2021. Bright acids and mineral notes drive through a core of red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint, spice and blood orange. The 2021 is impeccable. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
As I found at en primeur, the 2021 Clos Lunelles displays more complexity and nuance on the nose compared to the preceding Monbousquet—very floral at first, with blackberry and melted tar scents. It shuts down a little with aeration, rather than opening. The palate is medium-bodied, with grainy tannins that frame the concentrated black fruit laced with graphite from the 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. There’s firm grip, but it’s balanced with a slightly minty finish. Fine. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
