95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$760 list] There’s breadth to this white, along with intensity and flavors of peach, pineapple, mango, butterscotch and oyster shell brininess. This is driven by lively acidity and lingers beautifully on the spice-infused aftertaste. Offers terrific balance and length. Best from 2027 through 2036. 530 cases made, 106 cases imported. (3/31/26)"

94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a more complex bouquet than the Clavoillon with hints of lemon thyme and wild peach, quite mineral-driven and expressive. The palate is taut and fresh with impressive weight and energy, lightly spiced with an almost steely finish. This is very refined and should age beautifully in bottle. Drink: 2027-2045. (Aug 2025)"
91-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 3 separate parcels). Here too there is just the vaguest suggestion of exotic fruit in the form of white peach, passion fruit, acacia blossom and pretty spice nuances that are also framed in admirably subtle wood. There is both slightly more volume and noticeably more minerality to the punchy medium weight flavors that terminate in a bitter zest-inflected bone-dry finish that is not especially austere though there is a trace. I like the balance as well as the sneaky good persistence and overall, this is a wine that should easily repay a decade of cellaring. Drink: 2033+. (Jun 2025)"
93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The 2023 Les Folatieères premier cru has the same aromatic signature, blending candied lemon and wood powder. We appreciate its finesse, the beautiful length of the flavorful fruit, the chalky texture, and the lovely bitterness. (2026)"
