92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Beaune Les Perrières 1er Cru comes from a mixture of vine ages, the oldest around 90 years old. It has an expressive, floral bouquet featuring touches of kirsch and orange blossom; this is one of the most opulent crus. The palate is well balanced with lively red berry fruit, the calcareous soils lending tension and linearity toward the almost Pommard-like finish. Drink: 2023-2040. (Dec 2020)"
91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "More active limestone here. Half the vineyards are over 80 years old, half under 40, but there was more fruit from the older vines, bizarrely. The blend comes in at around 40% whole bunch, with 20% new wood. Medium purple, showing more personality immediately than the Sizies. Graciously sensual, a little more wood effect, which gives a tighter structure. (Oct 2020)"
92 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from vines that average 60+ years of age but some are almost 90; 40% whole clusters). A more deeply pitched and slightly riper but still quite fresh nose reflects notes of poached plum and plenty of floral nuances. There is excellent intensity and beautiful detail to the more complex and slightly more persistent finish. This beautiful Beaune 1er displays the slightly chalky texture that it is known for. Drink: 2029+. (Apr 2021)"
