95-97 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru, which contains 80% whole bunch and had not been racked, has a beautifully-defined bouquet with red and black fruit, undergrowth, hints of tobacco and pressed rose petals. Very focucsed. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, very harmonious with a pastille-like purity on the finish. Very classy and composed. Drink: 2028-2048. (Dec 2021)"

93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Not racked. Fine heady mid purple, the sample is slightly more evolved, with weight and oak and depth, detail to follow. This is a sound rendition though of the majesty of Chambertin, and may well emerge to earn a higher rating. Magnums only. (Nov 2021)"

93-96 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(to be bottled only in magnum). A restrained and intensely floral-suffused nose is reticent to the point of being brooding and only grudgingly provides glimpses of fresh dark berries and sauvage whiffs. The precise, highly energetic and tautly muscular flavors possess that wonderful sense of underlying tension that becomes even more apparent on the mineral-driven, youthfully austere and equally long finale. This is a classic and wonderfully promising Chambertin that in magnum format should age as long as anyone would reasonably care to wait. Drink: 2042+. (Apr 2022)"
