92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs-Chenys Vieilles Vignes is lovely, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, licorice and spices, framed by a deft touch of toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and layered, with a charming core of fruit, powdery tannins and fine depth at the core. As ever, this derives from old vines below Charmes-Chambertin and shares some of that cru's attributes. Drink: 2025-2050. (Jan 2021)"
92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "[$114 list] The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs-Chenys, from vines adjacent to Charmes-Chambertin, is well-defined on the nose, offering blackberry, bilberry, touches of meat juice and light savory notes. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and vibrant, with fine grip on the entry and an almost symmetrical poise on the graphite finish. Excellent. (Dec 2020)"
90 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from vines planted in 1934 that directly abut Charmes-Chambertin). Once again there is just enough wood and menthol nuances to reference setting off the very ripe yet fresh nose of plum, spice and warn earth. There is a slightly finer mouthfeel to the energetic if less generously proportioned flavors that exhibit good length on the mildly warm finish where a hint of mocha emerges. This complex effort will need at least some patience as it's present quite tightly wound. Drink: 2030+. (Jan 2021)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(At the foot of Charmes-Chambertin). A nose that likes to play games with you – the first sniff full of perfume, the second not, then it’s back again – soft red fruits too. So juicy. Structural for sure, but not gothic and the flavour is more than a match. Such excellent wine, slowly fading with wave after wave of fresh flavour. (Dec 2020)"
