94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This comes from the Chablis side of the hill and sits high on the slope. There's ample sunshine and lots of old vines that contribute to this wine's concentrated, multi-dimensional palate. This offers a massive jolt of upfront fruit that gets slimmed down by the bracing acidity and tense energy. Tangelos, Rainier cherries and ample baking spice amp up the palate. (2024)"
91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "From four plots on the Chablis side, from top to bottom of the vineyard. Pale yellow with a slight green tint. There is an attractive weight of fruit, not over opulent, and with a biscuity note from the wood element. A viscous texture follows, this is very young in its career, but is attractively balanced throughout and with a notably long finish. One of the best in the range. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted: July 2023."
93 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "There is an excellent balance between rich, honeyed notes and very crisp, clean acidity. Stony edge to the finish. This is approachable now but really needs several years. From four parcels, part of the blend is matured in barrel, the rest in tank. Will be bottled in January 2024. Drinking Window: 2025-2032. (10/18/23)"
93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "With Mont de Milieu, not only the aromatic finesse is enhanced, but also the texture. A slender wine, but also soft and silky, seductive in its tenderness. (2025)"
92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$85 list] This white is rich, sporting peach, melon and light baking spice flavors, plus a deft touch of oak for roundness. Shows concentration throughout, with fine harmony and length. Drink now through 2028. 50 cases imported. (9/30/24)"
