92-95 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Their pick from purchased grapes. Mid primrose colour, a sultry sunny nose, but detailed and attractive. Good tension on the palate but a bit blocky, banana and grenadine notes, so more exotic. Certainly very intense here though. The Folatières offers a different shape to the Meursaults, a fraction riper than my preference, but really long finish, very exciting in its style. And still a fresh finish. (Oct 2021)"

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The wine has a bright nose of green apple, with an edge of acacia flower and a suggestion of honey. The texture is dense and substantial, but far from being heavy, the wine is opulent yet deftly balanced. Produced from purchased fruit that was crushed lightly prior to pressing and run into cask (50% new), with a good proportion of lees for fermentation and ageing. Drinking Window: 2025-2040. (Nov 2021)"

94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding/Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A slightly riper mix displays notes of various white orchard fruit, citrus confit and a vague whiff of the exotic, especially dried apricot. The very rich, caressing and generously proportioned flavors possess outstanding punch while delivering seriously good length on the clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This lovely effort should be approachable after only 3 to 4 years of cellaring. Drink: 2028+. (Jun 2022)"
