92-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 35+ year old vines in Charmes Dessus). Pungent aromas of wood, reduction and a hint of phenolic character render the nose unreadable today. More interesting are the dense, powerful and almost painfully intense larger-scaled flavors that also soak the palate with sappy dry extract that does an excellent job of buffering the firm acid spine shaping the bone-dry, moderately austere and impressively long finale. This is extremely promising. Drink: 2031+. (Jun 2023)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pure fresh yellow. The bouquet shows the voluptuous side of Charmes wearing a chiffon of oak. Some fresh lime notes provide the energy, while the body of clean white stone fruit is the main course. Too much body just to be called racy. I don’t think this will take an enormous amount of time to come round, but all is there. Drink from 2026-2033. (Nov 2022)"
