94 points Tim Atkin, MW.
93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Domaine. 3 plots in the upper part, with a normal crop in 2016. Palish colour, high class concentrated nose with the oak in balance. This has the dramatic tension that was possibly missing in Genevrières. Fully weighty, plenty of oak but the fruit is more dominant. Ripe apples, good acidity at the back. A very good example."
93 points and 'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from an incredible 2.7 ha parcel which makes Bouchard the largest owner, surpassing the 2.5 ha of Latour-Giraud). Here there is no reductive funk with its elegant, airy and cool aromas of citrus peel, acacia, spice and a whiff of Granny Smith apples. The middle weight and focused flavors are stony to the point of imparting the sense of rolling a small pebble around in the mouth, all wrapped in linear, energetic and very dry but not austere finale. This definitely needs time to flesh out and unwind as it's very tight at present. Drink: 2026+. (Jun 2018)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "From 3 different plots totalling 1.2 hectares. Again with separate elevage but blended together at the end. ‘The maturity of 15 with the acidity of 14…’ A nose like the Genevrières – a little narrower, but deeper – very attractive. Much more volume in the mouth, a little less gas, but seemingly more energy and complexity. Seriously great wine here this vintage – bravo, bravo!! (Dec 2017)"
