96 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The Caillerets is often among my favourite premier crus in this cellar, and 2022 is no exception, with its expressive lemon peel and green apple fruit aromas and hints of acacia flowers, flint and spice. The texture is lively, with great tension despite the heat of the year and enough extract to ensure a lingering finish. The grapes are from the 0.17-hectare domaine parcel at the top of the slope. The thin soil just covering the limestone gives a firm mineral underpinning to this wine that sets it apart from the other climats. Drinking Window: 2030-2060. (11/1/23)"
95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) "The influence of the single, new 300-L barrel (33% new oak total) is nicely meshed into this bewitching, well-proportioned wine. To complement the spice tones it brings, there are freshly-picked apples, baked yellow plums and lemon chiffon cake. The waxy-textured midpalate is brightened by quivering acidity. Most of the vines are 70+ years old with the rest now thirty-two years old. (2024)"
92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pierre-Yves vines are just in the upper part. Picked the same day as Caroline Morey’s grapes. Another green inflected colour, Less bouquet than hers at the moment. More aquiline with a forceful density in the middle of the palate, less nuanced but equally as intense. Some lime and grapefruit at the finish, chiselled but perhaps less fine? Drink from 2028-2035. (Oct 2023)"
92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets is concentrated and mineral, offering up aromas of pear, orange zest, hazelnut, white flowers and buttered toast, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate built around a racy spine of acidity and concluding with a mineral finish. (1/18/24)"
91-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound) "A vague whiff of exotic character lurks in the background of the aromas of citrus confit, white peach, spice and discreet flora scents. There is excellent volume to the caressing and seductive yet tension-filled flavors that deliver very fine length on the overtly stony, firm and built-to-age finale. This balanced effort could be approached young with pleasure but the upside development potential is evident. Drink: 2030+. (Jun 2024)"
91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru comes from a parcel that contains young and old vines (though, in fact, the former are 25 years "young" now). The very attractive bouquet offers enticing scents of almond, quince and wild mint, gaining intensity with each swirl of the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a sapid entry. Plenty of substance, but does it have the flair of the Abbaye de Morgeot? At the moment, it’s strict on the finish, but it does deliver in terms of persistence. Excellent. Drink: 2026-2046. (Oct 2023)"
