96 points/'Le Coup de Coeur,' La Revue du Vin de France: "Lively fruit and nervous material in the Clos de Vougeot, direct and tense wine, which goes straight to the point and expresses a noble austerity. (2022)"
94-96 points Jasper Morris, MW: "The two plots are picked and vinified separately, assembled when the wine is racked to tank. Fine bright purple, with a depth of fruit, almost an exuberance, which is really pleasing. Really delicious fruit weight, just the right acidity and excellent length. Just 25% whole bunches this year. (Nov 2020)"
95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$337 list] Expressive, spicy and silky, with berry and cherry fruit wrapped in toasty, vanilla-tinged oak. Firm yet elegant, with a layer of dusty tannins; however, the lasting impression is ripe fruit and an underlying mineral element. Just needs time. Best from 2026 through 2045. 462 cases made, 92 cases imported. (5/31/22)"
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "From two parcels at the top and bottom of the vineyard picked on different days, the 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, which contains one-quarter whole bunch, has a tightly wound bouquet of brambly red berry fruit, woodland/autumn leaf and subtle hints of wild mushroom. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, good energy and tension and a judiciously spiced, quite persistent finish. This is a classy Clos de Vougeot. Drink: 2023-2042. (Dec 2020)"
91-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from an exceptionally well positioned 1 ha parcel situated directly beneath Les Petits Musigny that is combined with another less well located .35 ha parcel close to the main road; 25% whole clusters). Ripe and appealingly fresh aromas are composed by sauvage and earth-inflected notes of mostly red and dark berries. Once again, the mouthfeel is really quite sleek as the rounded yet reasonably precise and energetic flavors possess a seductive texture, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, sappy and impressively persistent finale. This will need to develop better depth to merit the upper end of my projected range, but the potential certainly appears to be present. Drink: 2036+. (Jan 2021)"
93 points Wine & Spirits: "[$322 list] The Boisset family domaine, based in Vougeot, included some white parcels with long histories tied to the Abbaye de Cîteaux, as well as some prime plots of pinot noir. Their main parcel, 2.59 acres, is close to the top of the vineyard, with vines dating from the 1940s and '50s to the early '90s. A second parcel, at the bottom of the Clos, is just under an acre of vines planted in the mid-'80s. Their biodynamically farmed fruit comes together in a fragrant 2019, subtle rather than super-concentrated, bright, and rose-scented. Instead of weight, it offers length, continuing for minutes as it will continue for years in the cellar. (2022)"
