93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The 2020 Crozes shines with its balance and the beautiful burst of fruit, all in smoothness and indulgence, but with a lot of background. If it is difficult to resist it, it is perfectly capable of waiting a few years in the cellar. (2023)"

89-92 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "I tasted three different lots of the 2020 Crozes Hermitage, picked at very different ripeness levels. One, picked on August 23 at just 11.7 degrees of potential alcohol, was light-bodied, with paper-like tannins but charming, cherry-like fruit. Another, picked September 8–10 at 13.8–13.9 degrees, shows more weight, velvety richness and darker-fruit flavors. The bulk was picked somewhere in between, with lively purple raspberry fruit, a crisp, medium-bodied feel on the palate and a bright, vibrant finish. Drink: 2022-2030. (Jan 2022)"
