93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2024).

92 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Although a 'solar' area, the soils here are shallower than much of Fourchaume. More concentration and weight evident, with notable smoky notes. Will develop very well but needs time. Lots of acidity. Big structure, small production. Drinking Window: 2025-2031. (10/18/23)"

90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .25 ha parcel in Vaupoulent). This is noticeably riper with its smoky aromas of pear liqueur, iodine and suggestion of the phenolic (olive oil nuances). There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the generously proportioned medium weight flavors that display solid power on the clean and dry finale. Drink: 2029+. (Aug 2023)"

90-92 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Vinified and aged in stainless steel from one plot in Vaupulans. Mid lemon yellow. The nose is easy-going, with some ripe citrus notes. Pleasingly tangy, with a juicy fruit through the middle, not as classic a Chablis as their Vaillons, with middle weight and length. Drink from 2025-2029. Tasted: July 2023."
