92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Charmes 1er Cru is another new fermage from 0.5 hectares of vines. The impressively perfumed nose offers hints of brioche and green apples, very well defined, and the wood is seamlessly integrated. The palate is very delineated on the entry, with much more tension than the Village Cru. It is lively and lightly spiced with a persistent finish, urging you back for more. Excellent. Drink: 2026-2048. (Jan 2024)"

91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Also new in 2022, also a half hectare holding. An attractive lime infused colour. The bouquet is more floral, a little extra distinction, with a thread of apple underlying. Very elegant, with tension and some concentration, quite a step up from the straight Puligny, especially the length of the finish. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Oct 2023."

90-92 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "from a leased .80 ha holding; 2022 is the first vintage. Subtle if still perceptible notes of wood set off the vaguely exotic aromas of white peach, passion fruit and cool floral elements. There is a bit more volume to the delicious middleweight flavors that flash a lovely underlying tension that also suffuses the beautifully textured, lingering and sappy finale. This firm and balanced effort displays the innate class of a fine Puligny. Drink: 2030+. (Jun 2024)"

90-91 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Another new cuvée at this address, the 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Charmes is more refined and mineral than its generic counterpart, revealing notes of white peach, citrus zest, fresh bread, beeswax and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure and lively palate, concluding with a saline finish. (Jan 2024)"
