90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2018 Marsannay Les Grasses Têtes has a superb bouquet, perhaps the earthier of Clair’s Marsannays and very well defined, offering detailed black fruit mixed with sous-bois and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, wonderful acidity, a lot of coiled-up energy and a mineral-soaked finish that bodes well for the future. Excellent. Drink: 2022-2033. (Jan 2020)"

89-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "This too is reduced though less so and it seems clear that the fruit is definitely ripe. That impression is enhanced by the lush if backward medium weight flavors that possess good muscle and excellent mid-palate density, all wrapped in a chewy, serious, austere and built-to-age finish. Wines from Grasses Têtes rarely drink well young and this particular version will also be no exception. Drink: 2030+. (Jan 2020)"
