94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2011 Domaine Gaunoux Rugiens is another absolutely stellar wine in the making. The deep and very precise nose delivers a fine blend of red and black cherries, gamebirds, woodsmoke, wonderful minerality, a touch of cumin and cocoa. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and absolutely rock solid at the core, with stunning minerality, bright acids, exceptional focus and balance and a very, very long, transparent and ripely tannic finish. This will take a few years longer than the 2011 Grands Epenots to blossom, but it too will be one of the reference point Côte de Beaune wines in this lovely and classic vintage. 2025-2075. (Mar/Apr 2014)"

92 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .69 ha parcel in Rugiens-Bas). This is equally elegant and pure with a restrained cool array of red cherry, raspberry, earth and subtle wet stone nuances. Here too there is plenty of energy to the refined and intense medium-bodied flavors that exude plenty of minerality before terminating in a balanced, complex and impressively persistent finish. Good stuff and not redoubtably structured for a young Rugiens. Drink: 2019+. (Apr 2014)"
