96+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard Haute Densité is another brilliant rendition of one of contemporary Burgundy's most fascinating wines. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of lime zest, white flowers, wet stones, oyster shell and subtle reduction, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a multidimensional core of fruit that's framed by racy acids and huge reserves of chalky dry extract. Incisive, penetrating and tightly wound, anyone lucky enough to acquire a bottle or two should plan on a minimum of a decade's patience. Drink: 2030-2060. (1/31/23)"

95 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a vine density equivalent of 30,000 vines/ha). There is outstanding aromatic complexity to the elegant and slightly riper aromas of citrus peel, acacia blossom, spice and essence of pear. I very much like the impressive power and mid-palate concentration displayed by the refined and mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a citrus-inflected, clean and dry finish that delivers excellent persistence. This is an absolute knock-out by any standard and a genuine 'wow' wine. If you can find it, don't hesitate! Drink: 2032+. (Jun 2023)"

94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard Haut Densité 1er Cru has a taut and focused bouquet with petrichor, Granny Smith apples, touches of orange pith emerging with time. This builds and builds. The palate is well balanced with a touch of white pepper on the entry, a keen line of acidity, superb matière towards the persistent finish. Drink: 2026-2048. (Jan 2023)"
