90-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from several different lieux-dits, 30% of which is from Brélance with major contributions from Les Tremblots and Grands Champs). An elegant, pure and more floral nose offers up its combination of green apple, prominent citrus and crushed fennel nuances. There is borderline painful intensity to the appealingly textured medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality, chiseled, balanced and long finish that is quite dry but not really austere. This is an excellent Puligny villages that is also worth strong consideration. Drink: 2028+. (Jun 2023)"

92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The puligny-montrachet is pure, with acidic, ripe fruit supported by a hint of lemon and delicate oak. (2024)"

92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "Expressive and classy, this white exhibits floral, vanilla, peach, apple, lemon and honey flavors. Firm and elegant, with precision and fine mineral length. Drink now through 2028. (1/8/24)"

90-92 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A pale colour with a slight green tint. The nose is more complex than the Bourgogne without suggesting much greater power. Here it is the elegance which counts, fresh white fruit with fines herbes. More lemon than lime in its citrus notes. Medium plus length. (Apr 2023)"

90-91 points/'Fine,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Puligny-Montrachet is a lovely wine, harmonious, vivid, and pure. It doesn’t quite match the magnificent 2020, but it does have the 2021 purity that makes these wines special. Only 15% new oak adds to the tremendous purity of the fruit. Drink from 2029. (3/30/23)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(4.6 ha from around the village. This already in bottle for 3 weeks). A calmer nose with a faint extra, floral, sweetness. Properly structured though. – vibrant and delicious. Super wine, really a top villages. Broad and super long finishing. (9/7/23)"
