94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pale lemon yellow. Power once again is evident from the outset. But strict enough and with admirable tension at the back, the marine minerals doing their job. A wealth of flavour here and with real grip. This keeps building in the aftertaste. Excellent! (Jun 2022)"

93+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is taut and concentrated, unwinding in the glass with aromas of freshly baked bread, clear honey, confit citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's a serious wine that will reward bottle age. Drink: 2025-2045. (Jul 2022)"

93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a huge 4.5 ha parcel located in Chapelot). An elegant and wafting nose freely offers up aromas of white flowers, mineral reduction, lemon zest, quinine and ocean breeze wisps. There is fine precision and verve to the tension-filled medium-weight flavors that exude both minerality and salinity on the bitter lemon-suffused finale that is youthfully austere and quite dry. This very classy effort is potentially outstanding. Drink: 2028+. (Oct 2022)"
