97 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Stunning winemaking from Cyprien Arlaud, who has worked magic with the terroir in 2018. Sourced from a single parcel of 0.43ha in the Mochamps climat, just below the historic Clos de la Roche, this is effortlessly complex and complete, with deftly integrated 30% whole bunches and 15% new wood, fine tannins, racy red berry fruit and a fresh, tapering finish. Textbook stuff. Drinking Window: 2026-2038. (Oct 2019)"
93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is matured with 30% whole bunch and 20% new oak. The superb bouquet presents a mélange of red and black fruit, sous-bois and blood orange aromas that blossom from the glass. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and finely judged acidity. Quite compact for a Clos de la Roche, with noticeable backbone on the finish. It will require several years in bottle but it should be worth the wait. Drink: 2025-2048. (Jan 2020)"
