93 points (16.5/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "Ample and very refined, the Gevrey Coeur de Roy offers mouthwatering and invigorating flavors of fresh fruit. (2020)"
92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy wafts from the glass with an inviting bouquet of cassis, dark berries, smoked meats, dark chocolate and rich soil tones. It's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, its textural attack segueing into a layered, ample mid-palate that's framed by exquisitely refined, powdery tannins. Long and sapid, this is a decidedly serious communal bottling that will reward a decade's bottle age and see out its 30th birthday in style. Drink: 2025-2050. (Jan 2020)"
90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "Matured in two-thirds new oak, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin "Cuvée Coeur du Roy" has a very pure black cherry and boysenberry scented bouquet. The oak is neatly integrated and the 50% whole bunches impart a subtle undergrowth scent. The palate is packed full of sucrosity on the entry, slightly confit in style with macerated small black cherries, blueberry and a dash of white pepper towards the spicy finish. This will deserve five or six years in bottle, but there is very good potential here. Drink: 2023-2040. (Jan 2019)"
89-92 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "From 50 to 108 years old vines, from Combe dessus, Epointures and Marchais (behind the house). 50% new wood and 50% whole bunch vinification. Glowing rich purple, this has no reductive character and much more fresh red fruit concentration, while the oak adds another significant part of its character. Good acid balance. In fact, the acidity is quite prominent Tasted: December 2018. (Dec 2018)"
