93-95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is very promising, unwinding in the glass with a delicate bouquet of cherries, red berries, rose petals, peonies and blood orange, framed by a discreet application of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, its core of succulent fruit framed by elegantly powdery tannins. (Jan 2019)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2018 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from 0.16 hectares equally dispersed over oolite blanche and Prémeaux limestone bedrock, with an average vine age of 50 years. It has a dense, powerful bouquet with pressed violets infusing intense black fruit; touches of blood orange develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Quite powerful and structured for this Grand Cru, with a precise, focused finish that will require 5–6 years in bottle. Great potential. Drink: 2022-2040. (Jan 2020)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "This is a tiny cuvée chez Magnien (just four ouvrées split between the upper and lower parts). Mid purple, the nose is not quite so fresh as the preceding wines. All is in new wood, and the fruit maybe over-ripened. Has just missed this year perhaps. Tasted: November 2019."
