90 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$135 list] A fleshy white, this boasts peach, vanilla, lime blossoms and a subtle mineral accent. Tightens up as the long finish stretches out. This could use some time to knit together. Drink now through 2028. 815 cases made, 163 cases imported. (8/31/23)"
89 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Bottled end March. Pale colour with a light green reflection. An almost stern chiselled nose but you sense the weight of fruit behind. A little touch of greengage. This is tightly wound for a Bourgogne Blanc with length as well. (May 2022)"
'Outstanding/Top Value'/87-89 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(includes some declassified villages wine). A cool, pure and very pretty nose reflects notes of green apple, citrus and discreet spice wisps. There is very good delineation to the delicious middle weight flavors that are suffused with underlying tension and fine balance on the clean and dry finale. This is an excellent Bourgogne - moreover, it is one that should reward short to mid-term cellaring. Drink: 2025+. (Jun 2022)"
88 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Bourgogne Blanc has a fresh, slightly candied bouquet with orange blossom and discrete nectarine aromas. The palate is balanced with a pithy opening, slightly lower in acidity than other vintages with a light spiciness towards the finish. Fine. Drink: 2023-2028. (Jan 2023)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Three large parcels bringing 4 hectares, all in the commune of Puligny. 10% new oak). Here’s a nice width a freshness, a little citrus zest aroma contributing. Vibrant, mineral, thats a great bourgogne, beautiful and intense finishing. (Feb 2022)"
