91-93 points Fine Wine Review: "(domaine). Very precise lemon-lime minerality in both nose and mouth. Nice acidic nervosity, light on palate, some strictness. Some salinity. (12/20/18)"

91 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$70 list] A plump version, boasting melon, peach, cinnamon and toasted spice flavors. Balanced by lively acidity, with the spice and peach elements echoing on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2023. 200 cases imported. (6/30/19)"

91 points James Suckling: "This has an attractive fusion of yellow grapefruit and lemon with white nectarines. The palate has great focus and freshness with ripe citrus fruit and white peaches. Drink in the next six to eight years. (2/12/19)"

90 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Tasted from bottle, the 2017 Meursault Les Clous confirms its strong showing from barrel, exhibiting aromas of crisp Anjou pear, dried white flowers, beeswax and blanched almonds. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with excellent tension and depth at the core and an elegantly chalky finish. While it's a little shut down after its recent bottling, its quality is not in doubt. Drink: 2021-2037. (Apr 2019)"

'Outstanding/Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a massive 8.6 ha parcel). An appealingly fresh nose displays cool, airy and citrusy aromas of apple, pear, white flower and soft wood nuances. There is both good richness and energy to the nicely detailed and stony flavors that possess a generous mid-palate mouth feel, all wrapped in a dry and youthfully austere finish. This is a quality Meursault villages. Drink: 2022+. (Jun 2019)"
