91-93 points and 'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A much less expressive nose is similar if slightly spicier and a bit more complex as well. There is notably better intensity to the somewhat denser medium-bodied flavors that flash even more minerality and particularly so on the driving, balanced and beautifully harmonious finish. Note that my suggested initial drinking window is based on the magnum format. Drink: 2032+. (Jun 2019)"

92 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "'If you're looking for a Meursault that represents the whole appellation and is a pleasure to drink, this comes from four parcels - two in Blagny and two in the lower part of the village. It's a textbook white Burgundy: rich, textured and concentrated, but with zesty acidity, fine 10% oak and appealingly low alcohol levels. Drinking window: 2020-2025. (Nov 2018)"

91 points Jasper Morris, MW: "I have just unscrewed a bottle, to go with some takeaway sushi from Taka-san. All I can say is that it has come racing out of the blocks with just the right element of the gunflint character. It is a modern Meursault, not the old-style butter-and-hazelnuts, but there is some delicious flesh showing up already. Beautiful village wine and you can drink it now. Bravo! Tasted: May 2020."
