Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95 points

The 1995 Clos du Mesnil shows pretty notes of autumn leaves, truffles and citrus. It is a rather fat, texturally rich vintage that probably won?t age forever, but rather a wine that offers rewarding drinking at a relatively young stage by Clos du Mesnil standards.

Wine Spectator: 97 points

A barrel-fermented style. Shows a slight oxidative character, with whole-grain toast, ginger, exotic citrus and honey notes. Big and dry, with a firm structure and a tactile sensation on the finish. A Champagne for food. Drink now through 2015. 120 cases imported.
