88 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, fresh bread and struck match introduce Pernot's 2020 Bourgogne Côte d'Or, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled wine built around a bright spine of acidity. It's a strong effort at its level. Drink: 2021-2028. (Jan 2022)"
87 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "A blend of two parcels Femmelottes and a parcel adjacent to the winer, the 2020 Bourgogne Côte d’Or has an attractive bouquet with citrus fruit and lime, well defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, reassuringly malic with a saline twist on the finish. Drink: 2022-2026. (Dec 2021)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Here two parcels, both in the commune of Puligny – they will be separated for 2021.) That’s a silky aromatic invitation almost a little patissière but very smooth. Big in the mouth, lots of freshness – rather demonstrative – framed with a fine grain of tannin. Slowly rolling waves of finishing flavour – excellent, just a nose away from great Bourgogne today. (12/23/21)"
Unlike the regional Bourgogne appellation—which can be elaborated from fruit grown anywhere from the Côte Chalonnaise to Chablis to the Côte d'Or—the relatively recently created Bourgogne Côte d'Or encompasses, logically enough, only the Côte d'Or itself. Previous vintages have served as a "fine introduction to this domaine's elegant style," in the words of William Kelley.
