92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Gravières is one of the sleepers of the Lamy range, and its quality in this vintage is exceptional. Revealing aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and satiny, with a fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and a saline finish. It's matured in a mix of barrels, wine globes and ceramic vessels, which seems to work well Drink: 2025-2045. (1/31/23)"

90 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Santenay Les Gravières 1er Cru has quite an intense bouquet with liquorice-tinged citrus fruit, one of Lamy's 'feisty' 2020s. The palate is pithy with plenty of extract, a texturally satisfyingly Santenay rather than one with overt fruit, something almost Rhône-like towards the finish. An intriguing prospect. Drink: 2025-2038. (Jan 2023)"
90 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A fresh, cool and citrusy nose features ripe aromas of various white fleshed fruit. There is both a lovely sense of verve and texture to the medium weight flavors that terminate in a clean, dry and saline-infused finale. This attractive effort could be enjoyed young or held for up to a decade. Drink: 2027+. (Jun 2023)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Very young vines in a sort of continuation of the Clos de Tavannes. A mix of two vine-ages, one large part (actually 90%) only 10 years old. “Historically, in Santenay they planted what they could sell – so there was a lot of red – the white plantations were often for personal consumption but seemingly in soils were properly suited to white.”) A more floral width of aroma here – really a beauty. Such incisive freshness yet width of supple, fresh, energetic flavour. Really broad finishing – a great Santenay Blanc – bravo!(12/23/23)"
