92-94 points Rebecca Gibb MW (Vinous): "L'Huisserie is a clay-flint vineyard on Chinon's slopes. The 2020 was tasted as a tank sample. It is a fluid, flowing style that conveys a sense of ease, as it flows across the palate. It is elegant and appetising with black fruits and a light piquancy. Finishes with cedar notes, licorice and fruit cake spices. This is certainly a high quality and ripe, well made style. The abundant tannins are a triumph, coating the mouth with reassuring gourmandise. This doesn't stay still, it has lovely line and direction. Drink: 2022-2037. (Aug 2022)"

93 points Chris Kissack (Winedoctor): "A wine tasted from bottle at the domaine, with Philippe. This shows the impressive rich pigment of the vintage, and the aromatic profile is also set to impress, with deliciously expressive core of dark fruits, dark chocolate and mineral. It also seeks to impress with notes of confit cherries and a structure built from ripe tannin on the palate. This has an impressive build, and exhibits fine potential;give it five to eight years before pulling the cork, although I suspect it will develop over a much longer period than that. The alcohol is about 14%, says Philippe. (10/23)."
