96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Slender and very pure profile of the Vaudesir, refined and voluptuous, promising a brilliant future. (2022)"
92-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "From three plots, vinified in tank and then racked into wood. Olivier found it a bit austere, so wanted to fatten it out and add complexity. Iodine notes starting to be teased out on the nose. This is an excellent expression of the vineyard bolstered by the ripeness of the vintage, but still entirely within limits. Very long pure white fruit aftertaste.(Sep 2020)"

92 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Vaudésir is a 15ha site, notable for a high percentage of clay, and a double exposure with some vines facing north, others south. There are plenty of honeyed, zesty citrus fruits in this example with good concentration and bright acidity. Not my absolute favourite Grand Cru but there is still plenty of precision here. Will undoubtedly improve with further maturation in bottle Drinking Window: 2022-2030. (Oct 2020)"
92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a slightly muffled nose that needs to muster more delineation. (I did see some improvement after leaving my sample aside for 10 minutes.) The taut, vibrant palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, with a fine line of acidity. Its pedigree really shows through on the detailed finish. Excellent, but it needs time in bottle. Drink: 2024-2045. (Oct 2021)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "Three parcels here that come to 0.49 ha – two in the colder part – that brings freshness in warm years. A deeper nose, more golden-fruited ripeness but with no loss of freshness. Wide and then more mouth-filling. The finish narrows but the slowly mouth-watering flavour lasts beautifully. Just a little more structural – though overall the personality of this wine is a little less in evidence after that last two bravura performances… (Jan 2021)"
