97 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2023).

94 points James Suckling: "A rich and powerful Chassagne-Montrachet with some pineapple character, due to the very ripe vintage, next to the citrus that we expect. Built on quite an imposing scale, but with lovely lemon-zest freshness and fine tannins that support the flamboyant body. Long, quite stony finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (7/22/22)"

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "The last vintage of this wine chez Jadot as the vineyard has been sold. Medium yellow in colour. There is a little less overt power and perhaps a touch more terroir in this wine. Then the full weight kicks in, nicely married with its wood, and a sense of managed opulence behind infiltrated by good acidity. (Nov 2021)"

93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2022).

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The swan song for this cuvée is the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta), a muscular, concentrated wine that exhibits aromas of orange oil, peach, buttery pastry and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with a fleshy core of ripe fruit and bright balancing acids, it offers a classic expression of Morgeot in all its exuberance. (Jan 2022)"

91-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(a monopole of Domaine Duc de Magenta that was recently sold to Domaine de la Vougeraie; as such, 2020 will be the last vintage of this wine for Jadot). A slightly more elegant if otherwise similar nose introduces succulent, round and highly seductive flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the powerful, long and less citrusy finale. This is worth checking out. Drink: 2028+. (Apr 2022)"

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru White) The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru has a taut, fresh, vibrant bouquet with yellow flowers intermixed with light citrus scents, gravel and jasmine. The palate is smooth and harmonious, tangerine and nectarine on the entry, moderate weight with a slightly pithy finish. I am intrigued to see how this will develop. Closure: Diam Drink: 2025-2042. (Dec 2021)"

92 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in cask (one-quarter new), to give this wine with aromas of ripe apricots and quince. The texture is broad and rich, with a density that probably needs a bit of age. At present is seems luxurious, but a bit heavy. The Clos de la Chapelle (Morgeot) is a monopole of the Duc de Magenta that Jadot has traditionally rented. It is just downslope from lieu-dit Morgeot, and is planted to both Pinot and Chardonnay (this section of 1.79ha is planted to the latter). Drinking Window: 2023-2040. (Nov 2021)"
