90-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and it's enough to flatten the fruit. As it almost always is, the medium-bodied flavors are bigger, richer and more powerful than those of the Chevrets with an intense minerality on the muscular, concentrated and beautifully textured finale. This isn't a huge Santenots but it's certainly going to require at least 6 to 8 years of cellar time as the balanced finish is definitely backward and austere now. Drink: 2023+. (Apr 2015)"
92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The Volnay premier cru Santenots is already at the top of its appellation, with a cocoa-accented woodiness that can still be refined: it's juicy and sappy, with real depth. (2016)"

91 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "(completely destemmed): Bright, dark red. Red cherry and leather aromas are joined by strong menthol and pepper notes. Surprisingly silky and soft on entry, then rather closed in the middle, showing a captivating salinity to its sweet, chewy redcurrant fruit. Has the stuffing to buffer its serious building tannins but needs time. Drink: 2019-2028. (Mar 2016)"
