94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of waxy citrus fruit, white peach, buttery pastry and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's racy and intense, with a tangy spine of acidity that carries through the long, saline finish. As ever, "1er Jus" indicates that this cuvée is produced with the free-run and first-press juice (which is lower in pH and higher in acidity, bringing more tension) from the Chavigne vineyard. Drink: 2025-2045. (11/7/24)" 94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "‘You need to pick Pierreclos at just the right moment,’ according to Guffens-Heynen's winemaker, Julien Desplantes. To judge from the evidence of this superb bottling, it has. The must is carefully pressed and only the first-press juice is used. It is fermented in cask without settling to produce a wine of bewitching complexity with aromas of ripe apricots, quince and exotic spice. Velvety in texture, with impressive density and an interminable finish, yet enough substance to bring everything into balance. This is a simply marvellous wine. Drinking Window: 2023-2040. (1/3/23)"
