93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The 2022 Champelots shows an attractive spice note to the ripe apricot and citrus fruit with hints of butter and white flowers. There is a pleasant richness—Colin notes that this is 'in the style of Chatenière and En Remilly'. The domaine owns 0.66 hectares here, high on the southwest-facing slope overlooking the village of Gamay. The site is always picked late, and the grapes are pressed as whole clusters before fermenting with most of their lees in cask (25% new). This wine has been racked into tank, but will be returned to barrel for another winter of ageing. Drink 2025-2045. (11/23)."
90-92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots is bright and mineral, exhibiting aromas of pear, white flowers, green apple, lemon oil and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, taut and chalky, with lively acids and a saline finish, it's a strong effort. (01/18/24)."
89-91 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Very pale in colour, and undemonstrative on the nose. There is time for that to come. Substantial energy towards the back of the palate, clean white fruit with a citrus not at the back, good length, more on stones than flesh. Drink from 2026-2030. (10/23)."
90 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Prominent smoke and petrol characters partially mask the underlying fruit that is also trimmed in discreet wood influence though I suspect that the smoky aspect will slowly recede with bottle age. The rich, punchy and solidly voluminous flavors are at once caressing but sleek, all wrapped in a powerful, vibrant and lingering finish. This needs to add depth but a few years of keeping should be helpful all around. Drink 2028+. (06/10/24)."
90 points Tim Atkin, MW: (2024).
88-90 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru, the coolest micro-climate farmed by the Domaine in the valley, reflects that on the nose with flinty, Granny Smith scents dichotomous to the warmth of the growing season. The palate is well-balanced with a touch of flintiness on the entry, lightly spiced with a dab of stem ginger towards what feels like a comparatively understated finish. Drink 2025-2038. (10/23)."
