93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Lovely, pronounced, exotic ripe melon and papaya aromas with hints of five spice and star anise. The texture is rich and dense, yet there is no lack of freshness: the pH is 3.3 and the wine was picked at 15 degrees potential alcohol, leaving a wine containing four grams of residual sugar after a full year of fermenting. Still in the first blush of youth and should easily last a decade. Drink: 2023-2033. (Jan 2023)"

92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Offering up aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, orange blossom and honeysuckle, the 2020 Viré-Clessé Quintaine is medium-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with racy acids and chalky structure, standing out as an especially charming, fine-boned rendition of this routinely excellent bottling. Drink: 2022-2035. (9/8/22)"
