93-97 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A glowing pale lemon and lime. Sunny and fresh at the same time, with an extraordinary tension on the nose. Still a wine of discretion, Didier has made wines which completely avoid heaviness while still delivering all that is necessary in concentration and backbone. Sublime persistence. Drink from 2032-2040+. Tasted: June 2023."
96 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "The very steep aspect of Côte Bouguerots is highlighted by a much greater emphasis on minerality than Fevre's Bougros. This is a grand cru is every way - so much drive on the palate with plenty of extract, concentration, salinity and length. Certain to keep very well but this is also surprisingly approachable early on. DIdier Seguier says it's likely to close down after 18-24 months but this is clearly a fine example with masses of potential. Drinking Window: 2026-2036. (10/19/23)"
95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This is a truly unique wine as its vines sit at the entry to Bougros, surely the best part of this large Grand Cru. It is lively and citrusy with profound mid-palate and real acidic hustle. The vast flavor spectrum includes spiced pear, citrus oil and gentle earthiness. This is always a favorite. (2024)"
93-95 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 2.2 ha parcel at the bottom section of the vineyard; even so, the vineyard is so steep here that it must be worked entirely by hand as tractors would be dangerous to use). This is the coolest and most restrained of this group of 2022s with its elegant aromas of prominent mineral reduction, lemon-lime, spice and oyster shell. There is almost painful intensity to the intensely stony and strikingly well-detailed larger-bodied yet still beautifully refined flavors that display huge length on the impeccably well-balanced finale. Like the Preuses, this is very classy and built to repay extended keeping. Drink: 2032+. (Aug 2023)"
93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru has a clean and precise bouquet with hints of wild peach, apricot blossom, Mirabelle and crushed stone. The palate is well-balanced with a very harmonious entry, blackcurrant leaf and spice, crushed stone and what feels like plenty of extract on the finish. This has great potential, but afford it time in your cellar. Drink: 2026-2048. (Sep 2023)"
