92 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2022).
John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Pommard 'Vieilles Vignes' from Monsieur Chaix is even a bit more structured than the Volnay (no surprise there), but shows the same beautiful depth of black fruit in its aromatic constellation of dark berries, cassis, woodsmoke, venison, bitter chocolate, dark soil tones and a hint of oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with ripe, firm tannins, good focus and grip and a long, very youthful and promising finish. This will demand at least a decade to soften up on the palate, but it has fine potential. 2030-2060. (Nov/Dec 2021)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Normally from Cras, Saucilles, Vaumauriens and Poisot. Like the last, one new barrel was slipped into the elevage.) A little more broad-brush nose but certainly more perfumed aromas are visible today versus the Volnay. More structural more mineral, energetic, chewy, great. Now if I could have the nose of the last and the palate of this I would say definitely – but it’s still probably great villages! (Dec 2021)"
