Wine Enthusiast
Very buttery, this concentrated wine shows wood-aging flavors as well as full, tropical fruit. Rich and rounded, it conveys a fine dense texture. Drink from 2017.

As is usually the case with this wine the wood is not subtle though it doesn't dominate the notably ripe citrus, peach and apricot suffused nose. This is typically the most powerful wine in the domaine's portfolio and so it is again in 2012 as the medium weight plus flavors possess outstanding volume and good energy on the explosive and solidly persistent finish where there is a slightly edgy quality at present probably due to the partially blocked malo. This is undeniably a dramatic wine though not one that is particularly refined. Note that my score assumes that the finish will harmonize with a year or two of bottle age.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Pouilly Fuissé Les Brûles, which was matured entirely in new oak, has a more fragrant bouquet that demonstrates more delineation and focus than the Le Clos, the minerality coming through nicely here. The palate is ripe and slightly honeyed on the entry, with crisp acidity and lovely touches of praline and nougat lining the composed finish. This actually shows up Le Clos and handles the new oak far better.
