98 points James Suckling: "An extraordinary wine, even for this very special Grand Cru. So mineral and pure with a gigantic concentration of sour cherries. The extremely fine and racy finish lifts off towards the heavens. You could drink it on release, but this has enormous aging potential. Try to wait until 2023. (2/12/19)"
97 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "From a cool, stony parcel that's influenced by the Combe Grisard, this is the pick of the Faiveley grands crus in 2017, making the best of its fresher terroir. Smoky, scented and alluring, it has well-handled wood, 40% new. It's a precise, elegant, chiselled red with sweet summer-pudding flavours and a chalky aftertaste. Drinking Window: 2025-2032. (Nov 2018)"
97 points Neil Beckett (The World of Fine Wine): "Mid-ruby, natural luster. One of those scents so effortlessly and naturally ingratiating that you seem to breathe it rather than sniff it. Effortlessly expansive on the palate, too, but with momentum and substance, the acidity like a cool undercurrent in the expanse of this fast-flowing river with no rapids and an upward waterfall finish. Seduction and scintillation in tandem. Often a favorite wine in the range here, from a still underappreciated terroir, and certainly again so in this vintage. (Issue 63; 2019)"
93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Dense red purple, a considerable weight of fruit is evident on the palate, plump luxuriant dark raspberry yet with a good freshness behind. The structure is well in line with the fruit. This should become attractively juicy with a little more elevage and certainly the quality of fruit at the finish is very encouraging. (Jan 2019)"
93-96 points Fine Wine Review: "Good freshness, precision, length, and depth. The wine has both dark and red fruits and minerality. The coldness of terroir comes through in the minerality, precision, firmness of texture, and energy. (3/5/19)"
93-95 points Meal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from the 1.3 hectares acquired by Faiveley in the 1930s. It has a very refined bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, undergrowth and just a touch of graphite. The masculine palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannin, good weight and structure and a persistent, vivid finish that is pure joy. Superb. Drink: 2022-2045. (Jan 2019)"
