93 ponts Tim Atkin, MW (2020).

92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$175 list] An elegant style, with aromas and flavors of lime blossom, apple and oak spice. There is less weight here, yet no less intensity. Fine, lingering finish. Drink now through 2025. 100 cases imported. (4/30/21)"

92 points James Suckling: "Very well executed reduction and oak interplay with some flint and praline, hazelnut and peach, as well as lemon curd. The palate has a very vivid, punchy presence with grapefruit and juicy peach flavors holding bright into the long finish. Drink now. (12/22/20)"

91 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Three ages of vine in white, and they have some pinot noir here too. The nose is a little bit neutral, but there is very good bone structure and quite some power at the back. Not slight by any means. This has Chassagne’s rectangular shape in contrast to the roundness of Meursault or a more linear Puligny. (Oct 2019)"

90 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of fresh pear, toasted bread, peach and nutmeg introduce Niellon's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Maltroie, a medium to full-bodied, elegantly satiny wine that's pure, precise and delicately chalky, with fine depth at the core and a nicely defined finish. Drink: 2022-2038. (1/9/20)"
