91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Clear bright colour, and Samuel has once again delivered a beautifully classical nose. The fruit fleshes out perfectly on the palate with succulent pêches des vignes flavours before tightening up again. The aftertaste is infused once more with the peach notes. This is intriguing, with, some stunningly delicious attributes, but will the stony classicism or the warm climate peachiness win out? (Jul 2020)"

92 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Billaud makes this from a blend of both his own and brought-in grapes. From a number of different sites around Vaillons, this shows some of the classic floral, perfumed notes of the appellation. It has a fine line of acidity and very pure, crystalline character to the fruit. A generous Premier Cru which is drinking well now but has the structure to last. Drinking Window: 2021-2027. (Oct 2020)"

89-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Vaillons proper). This too is aromatically quite cool with its equally restrained aromas of oyster shell, floral, lemon rind and spiced tea. The generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess both a beguiling succulence and good minerality, all wrapped in a bitter lemon-inflected finale. This delicious effort is a 2019 that is likely to drink well on the earlier side, yet it should also be capable of reward 4 to 7 years of cellaring. Drink: 2024+. (Nov 2020)"
