91-93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "(from vines picked at the end; racked in mid-August after having spent its first year in 50% new oak): Bright, dark red. Smoky, reticent nose is much more closed than the Perriere. Big, plush and thick; not showing the early verve of the Perrière but a wine of compelling sweetness and fullness. This premier cru benefits from a streak of acidity that comes from the vines' higher altitude and calcaire soil. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins. (Jan 2017)"
90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A cool and relatively high-toned nose reflects notes of various red berries that are laced with floral, earth and sauvage nuances. The succulent, round and generously proportioned flavors display ample minerality on the well-balanced and agreeably persistent finish that is somewhat less complex than the Champeaux and La Perrière. Drink: 2025+. (Apr 2017)"
