CLOS HENRI ESTATE PINOT NOIR 2023

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Clos (pronounced 'Klo') translates from French to 'enclosed vineyard' and often tells the story of a unique place. Founded by tenth-generation French winemakers, the Bourgeois family, Clos Henri craft textural and elegant wines from their Wairau Valley vineyards. Featuring eye-catching labels, Clos Henri's new Estate Range wines are vivacious, concentrated and bright. This spicy and fruity offering is hands down one of our favourite boutique Marlborough Pinot's. A star is born. Certified Biogro organic."

92/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review (2023 Vintage)
"Deep, flinty and smoky aromas lead to restrained but concentrated and flavoursome fruit on the palate. Wild strawberry, sweet herb and pohutukawa tea notes emerge with air. Firm, earthy tannins grip in on the back with a hint of warmth on this serious and brooding wine. There is structure here but also plenty of fruit intensity to outlast it. This mid-weight wine will evolve slowly in the cellar."

90/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, June 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Pinot Noir is a little reductive upon opening, and the fruit behind is layered with dark cherries, clove, aniseed, dark chocolate and crushed rocks. There is a profusion of forest floor and tapenade as well. In the mouth, the wine is gravelly and lean, chalky and lingering through the long finish. Give it a good decant prior to drinking; it will help loosen the lovely fruit that resides here."
