94 points James Suckling: "A powerful, concentrated and well-structured red Beaune that’s got plenty of healthy tannins and deep red-fruit character (very ripe strawberry!) Then comes the surprisingly playful and lively finish that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold. (8/16/21)"
93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "This red is silky in texture and intense, yet its black cherry and blueberry flavors are restrained. Harmonious and long, with toasted spice and mineral accents adding depth. Needs a few years. Best from 2023 through 2035. 150 cases made. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This comes from Bouchard’s 3.36ha monopole at mid-slope between Les Teurons and Les Avaux, just south of the Route de Bouze. Fermented with one-third whole clusters and aged in one-third new casks, the wine is delightful, with a ripe, concentrated blackberry/cherry fruit, a floral edge and a good mineral expression. On the palate the texture is silky, but there is rewarding density here as well. A top premier cru. Drinking Window: 2021-2029. (Oct 2020)"
91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Lots of active limestone on the terrace here, though it manages to avoid hydric stress, and is late to ripen. Not the deepest of colours by Bouchard standards and one of the freshest noses, this is elegant in style, more in red fruit, then there is a greater volume of fruit than expected behind, ripe, but balanced and delicious. (Nov 2020)"
90-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(a 3.37 ha monopole of Bouchard that required 7 generations for the family to acquire all of it). Aromas of spiced plum, black cherry and a touch of warm earth are trimmed in admirably subtle wood nuances. The super-sleek, intense and wonderfully energetic medium weight flavors possess fine length on the more overtly structured finale. This is both a bigger and more powerful wine than the Teurons that could use better depth but the given that the aging curve of the '19 Mousse should be extended, more complexity should almost certainly develop in due course. Drink: 2031+. (Apr 2021)"
