95 points (17.5/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "The house's signature wines, the Volnays are exemplary in their refinement, more accessible for the 60 Ouvrees, more intense for the Bousse d'Or. (2018)"
91-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Moderate amounts of wood and menthol elements frame the prominently ripe aromas of black pinot fruit liqueur aromas that are trimmed in an abundance of pretty spice nuances. The opulently, even lavishly rich medium weight flavors saturate the palate with sappy dry extract which also serves to buffer the more evidently mineral-inflected finish that is both firm and youthfully austere. Patience definitely required here. Drink: 2027+. (Apr 2017)"
91-94 points Fine Wine Review: "The Clos de la Bousse d’Or is denser than the Clos Tavannes and more tannic. It shows dark fruit, length, smoothness of texture, and overall finesse. About half the vines are 60 years or older, the rest are 25 years old or less. (7/10/18)"
91+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Dark red with ruby highlights. Very ripe, smoky, soil-driven aromas of redcurrant, cinders, tobacco and underbrush; a bit of a shock following the more classic 2016s at this address. Large-scaled, rich and deep, conveying uncommon breadth to its red berry and earth flavors. Finishes with big, chewy, dusty, palate-coating tannins and excellent length. Like all of these '16s, this one calls for at least several years of cellaring. (Jan 2018)"
