96 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide: "Lovely interplay between the ripeness of the grapes, energized by the limestone terroir, and the perfect lengthening of the finish. Omnipresent mineral dimension, pure tension, very precise wine, made for prawns and to be decanted. (2022)"
94 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Delicate and elegant, with ripe, bright fruit aromas and earthy as well as orange notes on the intense but refined nose, the 2019 Sancerre Chambrates is a tight, intense and tensioned wine whose vitality, finesse and elegance combined with a dense fruit core and sustainable mineral grip reminds me of dry limestone Riesling crus from Alsace, Pfalz or the hilly lands of the Wonnegau in Rheinhessen, Germany. This is a beautiful vin de terroir. Highly stimulating and with lingering salinity, this is a Sancerre ready to be served now and over this decade. The grapes were picked between September 12th and October 4th. Tasted in February 2021. Drink: 2021-2037. (Mar 2021)"
94 points Rebecca Gibb, MW (Vinous): "A mouthwatering style that's starting to settle into the bottle, shaking off its primary excitedness. The 2019 Sancerre Chambrates is very satisfying, lick-your-lips stuff. It provides a seamless texture, delicate nectarine and citrus-like fruit flavors and, crucially, harmony. Drink: 2021-2028. (Aug 2021)"
93 points La Revue du Vin de France (2022): "In 2019, the lieu-dix cuvées reach a beautiful salient balance, with a freshness particularly preserved in this sunny vintage. Chambrates is as usual seductive with a supple heart, stretched with brilliance on the finish. (2022)"
