94 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "Quince and pear, ripe but not overripe. Silky, broad and full – as always for this cuvée – but with good freshness and acidity, and gently warming alcohol on the finish. Very long, with good tension and a touch of honey and nougat to end on. An intense and concentrated vintage. Drinking Window: 2023-2028. (9/18/23)"
92-94 points Jeb Dunnuc0k: "Not yet bottled, the 2022 Saint Joseph Blanc will nevertheless be a gorgeous wine. Ripe, honeyed stone fruits, white currants, croissant, and subtle minerality all emerge from this beauty, and it's medium-bodied, with a balanced, elegant profile and outstanding length. These brothers have an incredible terroir for whites, and you can safely put this up with anything in the appellation. (3/28/24)"
91-93 points Nicolas Greinacher (Vinous): "The sapid 2022 Saint-Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers presents fragrant quince, white peach, vanilla, melon and pineapple aromatics. Medium-bodied and concentrated, this delicious 2022 is well-balanced by soft acidity. Drink: 2023-2027. (Mar 2024)"
17/20 points Alistair Cooper MW (JancisRobinson.com): "Honeyed and fresh, pure and inviting nose. This is lovely and balanced and has great weight but isn't overblown at all. Textured and polished and carries its 14% alcohol very well. Drinking Window: 2024-2030. (9/21/23)."
