97 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Fine pale straw colour, some CO2. Lively bouquet but with quite strong reductive notes. Superb concentration on the palate, huge energy, the fruit in the mouth can shrug off the reduction. Indeed the reduction diminishes on the nose too and this becomes a sublime wine. Very long classy finish, steely with a touch of lime infusion. DIAM 30. (May 2017)" 96 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Among the best wines in the de Montille portfolio in 2014, this shows the balance and focus of the vintage. Old vine concentration, subtle reduction, well judged oak, weight, texture and palate length: this is a delicious white Burgundy. 2016-25. (2016)"
93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "(with an average age of 55 years, these vines produced 35 hectoliters per hectare in 2014): Ripe but tight nose hints at white peach, citrus fruits, flowers, rock and clove muted by sulfur, plus a touch of lichee. Very rich and thick, with the distinct creamy intensity of old vines, but not at all exotic in spite of the noteworthy sweetness to its stone and citrus fruit flavors. This wine really spreads out to saturate the palate on the long aftertaste, which features a lingering note of sweet macadamia nut. Drink: 2020-2028. (Sep 2016)"
