93 points Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2023 (La Revue du Vin de France): "Concentration of material and dry extracts enrich the Vieilles Vignes vintage, a complete and substantial wine, which displays very healthy energy."

92 points and '5-Star Wine' Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy): "Clean crisp white fruit but otherwise more backward than the straight Chablis. Piercing crisp and beautiful white fruit, one of the best I have tasted, possibly the finest since the remarkable 2010. Long and fine with just the right elegance and weight of fruit, Drink from 2024-2030. Tasted: June 2022."

91-92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Vieilles Vignes cuvée seems to have recovered a bit better from the bottling than the straight villages, but this may simply be a reflection of the superior depth and elegance of the old vines weighing in here. In any case, this is going to be an excellent bottle and a superb value this year, as it offers up a very promising bouquet of pear, tangerine, fruit blossoms, a lovely, almost flinty sense of chalky minerality and a hint of the beeswax to come with bottle age. On the palate the wine is bright, deep and full, with a lovely core, superb mineral drive and grip, bright tangy acids and a long, nascently complex finish. This is clearly going to be outstanding with a few years’ worth of bottle age. 2024-2050. (Nov/Dec 2021)"
