Score 90/100 · Drink 2018-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2019

The 2016 Clos Floridène offers gorgeous aromatic complexity, pliant fruit and an alluring, welcoming personality to match. Rose petal, dried herbs, leather and smoke are all laced together in a racy, vinous Graves to enjoy over the next handful of years. The wine's balance and overall sense of harmony are notable.

Score 88/100 · Drink 2019-2029, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Nov 2018

The 2016 Clos Floridene has a medium garnet-purple color and nose of warm plums and cherries, herbs and earth. The palate is medium-bodied, vibrant, juicy and chewy with an herbal lift.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2017-2021, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2017

Racy and lively with some richness underneath. Very broad and flattering, though not a really long-distance runner perhaps. (JR)

Score 87-89/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2017

The 2016 Clos Floridène is an attractive Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend from the Dubourdieu family's vineyards in Graves. Black cherry, smoke, bittersweet chocolate, licorice and dark spices are all pushed forward. The 2016 is a bit more tannic and less plush than it usually is, but it is attractive nonetheless.
