93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "This wine has just been racked off all the lees. Fresh pale lemon. This is one of the more refined and stylish Charmes, and then on the palate you see the weight associated with this vineyard. Some lemon infusion at the back, to refresh this positive and powerful wine. Very long aftertaste. (Oct 2023)"

94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This is archetypal Meursault Charmes with aromas of peach pie, brioche and crème caramel. Suavely creamy, the elegant, supporting acidity weaves seamlessly into the background. The 20% new oak gleams through with scents of spice. (Jan 2024)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru has a fragrant, more floral bouquet laced with orange zest and touches of apricot. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly creamier texture, ripe citrus fruit and a waxy-textured finish displaying plenty of extract. Excellent. Drink: 2025-2045. (Jan 2024)"

91-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Beautifully layered aromas of petrol, mineral reduction and citrus display a pretty floral top note. Once again there is an abundance of sappy dry extract that imparts a seductive texture to the middleweight flavors while also buffering the very firm acid spine supporting the overtly stony, very dry and youthfully austere finale. This is both extremely stylish and quite classy and a wine that should age gracefully for a decade plus. Excellent. Drink: 2034+. (Jun 2024)"
