92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Mostly in Vaillons itself, with Chatains, Roncières and Mélinots. Another translucent pale lime colour. The nose is a little lighter than Montmains, very fine, lime and lemon notes throughout, it tastes as though filtered through a bed of tiny stones. Graceful and persistent. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted: June 2023."

93 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "With its particular northerly exposition within Vaillons, you would expect Les Lys to be very successful in 2022. And it is. A fine blend of freshness allied to sun-drenched ripeness, with a pronounced mineral finish. A great example of the distinctive terroir of Les Lys. Long, mineral, salty tail. Drinking Window: 2025-2031. (10/19/23)"

93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2024).

90-93 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a huge 3.5 ha holding that is composed by <75% of Vaillons proper with the remainder from Roncières, Mélinots and Châtains). This is also aromatically cool and almost as reticent with its airy aromas of white pepper, mineral reduction, essence of pear and a suggestion of wood influence. The gorgeously textured medium weight flavors possess an even more developed sense of refinement while exhibiting fine length on the quinine, stony and bitter lemon zest-suffused finale. This is lovely and a Vaillons of finesse in 2022. Drink: 2028+. (Aug 2023)"
