95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "A ripe white that's verging on tropical, thanks to pineapple flavors, this is toasty and spicy, with an underpinning of apricot and lemon elements. Luxurious, with a long, refined, smoky finish. Pure and resonant. Drink now through 2033. 315 cases made, 63 cases imported. (1/3/24)"

93-95 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .7 ha holding of 35 to 40-year-old vines). Here too subtle wood influence can be found on the exceptionally floral-suffused nose of essence of pear, spice and a variety of citrus elements. There is both good size and richness to the solidly concentrated middleweight flavors that display the hallmark refinement and lilting quality while deliver superb punch on the even longer, balanced and very classy finish. This stylish effort is pretty much textbook Combettes and should age like one as well. Drink: 2033+. (Jun 2023)"

93-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pale lemon with a light green reflection. Gently reductive, which shows also in a toughening up of the finish. This should resolve with more time. But there is a gorgeous volume of fruit, with a little flesh and a latent power. Some tension here and impressive length, a very successful Combettes for Domaine Leflaive in 2021. (Apr 2023)"
