93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A small lot so better to assemble early, which has just been done. A fresh green light shines through the clouds nonetheless. Picked among the first, a little yellow fruit plums and fresh white peaches. Salty rather than saline, with a fine firm backbone. The finish is particularly impressive, with the fruit becoming ever fresher at the back of the palate. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: June 2023."

95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Didier started the harvest here as its positioning lends to opulence. Here, he's captured the picture of the vineyard and vintage almost perfectly with vivacious acidity, lip-smacking lusciousness and invigorating fruit ripeness. Compact and flavorful with peak-of-ripeness citrus and honeysuckle, there's even some stone-driven minerality, too, on the lengthy finish. (2024)"

92-94 points/'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from two separate parcels of vines, the larger of which is in the heart of the "amphitheater" from which the finest examples of Vaudésir originate). Slightly more evident wood can be found on the cool and elegant aromas of mineral reduction, spiced pear and pretty floral whiffs along with a plenitude of classic Chablis elements. The understated, pure and borderline delicate flavors are at once supple yet beautifully detailed as well as almost aggressively mineral-driven on the superbly long finish. This is pretty much textbook Vaudésir. Drink: 2030+. (Aug 2023)"

93 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Starts ripe and fleshy in the mouth, then the minerality comes through. Fresh and direct, a very nicely balanced wine which, although approachable now, will age. The vines here lie on very steep slopes with full exposition to the sun. Early harvesting is the key to freshness. Drinking Window: 2026-2034. (10/19/23)"
