93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 Beaune Clos des Aigrots Blanc saw ten percent new wood this year and is really lovely. The bouquet is pure and nicely reserved in personality, wafting from the glass in a blend of white peach, apple, a hint of the honeycomb to come with bottle age, chalky minerality, beeswax and just a whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a lovely touch of salinity to the mineral expression here. The wine is focused, beautifully balanced and racy on the backend, with excellent length and grip. 2020-2045. (Nov/Dec 2016)"

93 points Tim Atkin, MW (Jan 2017).

89-93 points Fine Wine Review: "White Beaunes are always a hard sell to those who have not had them before, but they represent some of the more individual and interesting whites in the Côte d’Or. This wine is buttery in both nose and mouth, but discreetly so. The acidity is good and the wine has minerality, tension, and excellent finesse. There is good underlying acidity, too. The wine seems at this time less advanced than the preceding whites. (1/10/17)"
