89-91 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(this cuvée is mostly from La Charmotte and Au Chouillet, with bits and pieces from Aux Saints Jacques, Les Charmois, Les Maladières, Les Chaliots and Les Brûlées plus a few others too small to mention). A more deeply pitched nose offers up its notes of various dark berries, cool earth and a hint of crushed fennel. The rich, delicious and more voluminous medium weight flavors possess notably better depth and persistence if also more evident rusticity. This is a very good Nuits villages and worth considering. Drink: 2027+. (Jan 2023)"
89-91 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of red berries, orange zest and rose petals introduce the 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes, a medium-bodied, fleshy and perfumed wine with melting tannins and a saline finish. It's an especially charming, fragrant rendition of this perennially reliable cuvée. (Jan 2023)"
90+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2021 old vine bottling of Nuits St. Georges was showing beautifully at the time of my visit. The wine delivers a beautiful bouquet of red and black cherries, gamebird, dark soil tones, a touch of nutskin, woodsmoke and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, long and quite elegant in profile, with a fine core of fruit, good soil signature and grip, ripe tannins and impeccable balance on the complex finish. Fine juice. 2031-2075+. (Nov/Dec 2022)"
88-90 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Mid crimson, deeper in the middle. Quite a rustic dark fruited nose. A cheerful darkish red fruit on the palate, some tannins, medium length. Doesn’t feel like a cool damp year, but nor quite with the joie de vivre of the finest vintages. Quite persistent. Drink from 2025-2029. (Nov 2022)"
