95 points James Suckling: "A dramatic wine with full aromas of blackberries and wild herbs. The considerable depth creeps up on you slowly. With aeration, it develops a hint of chocolate that nicely underlines the long, polished finish. Try in 2022. (2/11/19)"
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a wonderful, expressive bouquet of copious red cherries, raspberry preserve and sous-bois aromas, one of the most delineated from Bichot this year. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, displaying a fine bead of acidity and filigreed tannin on the poised but persistent finish. One of the best from Bichot this year. Drink: 2022-2040. (Jan 2019)"
93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Lively dark purple. This wine has very considerable energy on the palate and a lively acidity I think it will develop into a Clos de Vougeot of character. The fruit is absolutely on the cusp of red and black and shows good intensity. Tasted: November 2018."
92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .72 ha parcel). An attractively layered and exuberantly fresh nose merges aromas of red and dark berries with those of earth, leather and a whiff of spice. There is excellent verve to the equally fresh large-scaled flavors that also possess solid mid-palate density before terminating in a youthfully austere and sneaky long finish that is very firmly structured. Even so, the supporting tannins are finer than usual and overall, this is more refined than it typically is. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2020)"
92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$300 list] Aromas of cherry, spice and sweet sawdust lead to pure flavors of cherry and currant in this tightly wound red. Silky and balanced, but needs short-term aging to absorb the oak. Fine length. Best from 2021 through 2035. 60 cases imported. (11/30/19)"
