95-97 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "Labeled La Peroline in markets outside the United States, the 2020 Cote Rotie La Chavaroche (a barrel sample, from the lieu-dit of the same name) is another terrific wine from this tiny estate. It's a bit more complex and herbal-stemmy than the other bottlings, but it's also floral and tea-scented, with baskets of purple raspberries on the nose as well. Medium to full-bodied, it's the silkiest, most complete of the three cuvées at this address, while still boasting ample concentration and length and plenty of ripe tannins. Give it at least another 5 years in a cool cellar. Drink: 2028-2040. (Jan 2022)"
95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The trio of Côte-Rôtie en 2020 is remarkable, in a very classic spirit, in the good sense of the word. Well done for the brightness of fruit preserved by judicious ageing and a mastery of extraction that knows how to tighten the wines without hardening them, giving them great potential. (2023)"
93-95+ points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2020 Côte Rôtie La Chavaroche brings another level of complexity, with a smorgasbord-like array of spring flowers, violets, iron, and both red and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with plenty of structure, it's always a more floral, gamey, wild wine when compared to the Les Journaries. This brilliant, old school-styled Côte Rôtie is going to need 5-6 years of bottle age but will unquestionably deliver the wild ride that these wines always provide. Note, the Chavaroche goes by the name Peroline in Europe. (12/15/22)"
