93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Brouilly 'Pierreux' from the Chermette family is crafted from thirty year-old vines (young for the Chermettes!) grown on pulverized granite soils on the flank of Mount Brouilly. The wine is raised in old oak foudres, hand-made by Pierre-Marie’s grandfather decades and decades ago. The 2020 Pierreux comes in at an even thirteen percent and is beautifully dark and sappy out of the blocks, wafting from the glass in a blend of red and black cherries, sweet cranberries, bonfire, a nice touch of youthful stem tones, a lovely base of soil and a topnote of fresh-culled thyme. On the palate the wine is bright, tangy and full-bodied, with real stuffing for Brouilly, fine focus and grip, just a wisp of backend tannin and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. This is an extraordinarily high expression of Brouilly. 2021-2045. (Sep/Oct 2021)"
92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Brouilly Pierreux has turned out brilliantly, bursting with aromas of cherries, plums, currant and wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's layered and concentrated, with juicy acids and powdery structuring tannins. (Aug 2021)"
