97 points/'Cellar Selection,' Anne Krebiehl, MW (Wine Enthusiast): "Tart lemon has an edge of softness reminiscent of a fresh Mirabelle tart. The palate of this wine majors on bright lemon juiciness with mouthwatering efficiency. For now, the wine is tight, clenched and needs to come out of its shell and share its stony secrets. It offers wonderful concentration, poise and a bone-dry finish. Drink 2025–2045. Alcohol 13.5%. (May 2020)"
97 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2024).
96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "From a less sunny vintage, Frédéric Emile 2017 expresses itself on the vegetal wall and citrus peel. Tonic, it is a great vintage of this cuvée, which overflows with energy and seduces with its volume, while offering incisive and striking length. (2025)"
95+ points Ian D'Agata (Vinous): "Bright straw. Clean, vibrantly mineral and racy aromas and flavors of green apple, pear and lime. Ripe yet brightly acidic, this exhibits a penetrating quality on the long, juicy, ginger- and mineral-accented finish. Very compact, dense and still youthful Riesling. Outstanding. Drink: 2026-2039. (Jan 2019)"
95 points Jim Gordon (JamesSuckling.com): "Poured from a magnum, this age-worthy wine is snappy and precise in texture, offering abundant minerals, orange zest and white peach in the aroma and crisp, stony flavors on the palate. Focused, invigorating and still young, it will drink best from 2028. (1/22/24)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "[$113 list] This shows the gentility of age, with spiced apple, pear jelly and quince flavors held aloft by lemony acidity and a solid foundation of chalky mineral. Lime zest, fennel seed and cool gravel line the compact, savory finish, which is slightly grippy in feel, giving impressive textural complexity. Drink now through 2032. (10/15/24)"
