90-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "From 40 year old vines in Fourneaux and Côte Pré Girot. Discreet clean pure white fruit, with strong iodine character this year, which apparently is unusual for Fourneaux. Samuel normally finds a chalky character here rather than iodine. Long and lively. (Jul 2020)"

92 points La Revue du Vin de France (2022).

90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Côte de Près Girots and Morein). Moderate reduction and sulfur make for a very difficult nose though the underlying fruit does seem ripe. By contrast there is lovely purity to the impressively rich and caressing medium weight flavors that possess the good complexity and fine length on the well-balanced finale. Drink: 2025+. (Nov 2020)"

91 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "From a warmer vineyard sited on south-facing slopes in Fley this is, surprisingly, less generous at the moment. Almost more 'old-school' in style with notes of green apple fruit on the palate. Lacking a little of the 2019 plushness, this is one-dimensional now but has plenty in reserve to develop much more complexity as it ages. For the longer-term. Drinking Window: 2022-2028. (Oct 2020)"
