94-96 points Jasper Morris, MW: "50% whole bunch for freshness. A little touch of clean oak. A lovely lifted elegant bouquet without traducing what is Clos Vougeot. Sweetly ripe, light raspberry and alpine strawberry, fine long finish. I loved this wine in 2017 and the new vintage matches that result. Tasted: November 2019."
94-95 points Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Chambolle Les Plantes is quite a beauty, with a lively profile. It’s from a 1er cru located in the middle of Chambolle, just below and next to Charmes. This is a charming, vivid wine with terrific energy and a delightful, hedonistic feel. It has an extra gear of excitement and vivacity. A delightful wine. Drink from 2031. (12/3/19)"
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2018 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is matured with 50% whole cluster, which Berthaut described as an experiment, as it is the first time she has used stems to impart freshness. This has a precise, peppery, undergrowth-tinged bouquet that unfurls nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, the stems adding the freshness I think this Grand Cru needs, and elongating the finish. Using stems was a good move and the same has been done for the 2019. Drink: 2023-2045. (Jan 2020)"
