91-94 points Fine Wine Review: "The Chambolle-Feusselottes shows a bit more depth with dark, spicy fruit and, surprisingly, it also has a bit more structure than the Chaignots. (Issue #141; 2014)"
93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2012 Feusselottes is another really stellar example of the vintage, as it offers up a beautiful and nicely reserved bouquet of black cherries, red plums, a touch of cocoa, a complex base of soil, violets, a nice touch of the gamebird to come and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very elegant, with a sappy core of fruit, superb transparency, excellent focus and grip and marvelous backend energy on the suavely-tannic and very long finish. A beautiful bottle of Feusselottes. 2022-2055. (Nov/Dec 2013)"
93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Soft wood and spice nuances add breadth to the otherwise elegant, restrained, airy and admirably pure dark currant and floral scents. The mouth feel is even more elegant with a refined and sophisticated texture to the middle weight flavors that are impeccably well-balanced on the lilting but firm, linear and highly persistent finish that displays a trace of austerity. This is a classic, and positively gorgeous, Feusselottes of grace and finesse but an example that is absolutely built to age. Drink: 2024+. (Jan 2015)"
93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Medium red. Lovely floral lift to the aromas of red berries and brown spices. Sweet, concentrated and seamless, with bright acidity and a firm stony underpinning lifting the red berry, spice and menthol flavors. Quite supple in the middle but given serious structure by late-arriving tannins and firm minerality. Very Chambolle, and a superb vintage for this bottling. Drink: 2022-2032. (Mar 2015)"
