93-95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Falstaff): "A touch of reduction still clings to the peppery raspberry and red cherry fruit on the nose. The palate comes in with an unusual creaminess that makes this rather smooth despite its lovely transparency. This has tons of charm and real depth. What a beauty. Drink 2025-2040. (3/24/21)"
94 points James Suckling: "A juicy, flavorful red with berry, chocolate, and hazelnut. Some earth, too. Medium-bodied with a tight, layered palate that shows firmness and focus from the polished tannins. Flavorful finish. Holding back. Drink in 2023 and onwards. (8/16/21)"
92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles is very promising, mingling aromas of sweet berries and plums with hints of raw cocoa and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's bright and fleshy, with an elegant, charming profile that belies its depth and concentration. (Jan 2021)"
92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Deep, but fresh purple. This has a very classic nose, absolutely in harmony and picked at the right time. On the cusp of red and black fruit, balanced, well ripened tannins and very good length. Definitely a success this year. (Nov 2020)"
92-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Here the expressive nose possesses the classic spiciness of a fine Les Cailles along with notes of poached plum, black cherry and enough earth to remind one that this is still a Nuits. The elegant and pure middle weight flavors display a sophisticated texture yet there is no lack of power and sleek muscularity on the lightly stony and balanced finale. Like several of the wines in the range, this needs to develop more depth that it should occur in time. Drink: 2034+. (Jun 2021)"
