94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "One of the Nuits Premiers Crus that’s closest to Vosne, this is often quite a forward, drinkable Pinot. This year, it’s a bit more structured, but every bit as delicious. Supple, ripe and textured, with damson and black cherry fruit, subtle whole bunch spice and stylish oak. 2019-28. (2017)"
90-93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "(in fût; the malolactic fermentation finished in July): Good medium red. Pure but subdued aromas of currant, black cherry, smoky stone, licorice and violet. Intensely flavored and evolving slowly, combining a restrained sweetness and good salty minerality. Darker in its fruit character than the Clos de Thorey. The wine's strong, spicy, tannic finish calls for more élevage. (Jan 2017)"
91 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A reserved and ever-so-mildly reduced nose quickly comes around to reveal aromas of spice, violet, earth, red currant and a hint of the sauvage. There is fine richness to the reasonably well-delineated and stony medium weight flavors that culminate in a sappy dusty, balanced and powerful finish where hints of warmth and bitter cherry pit arise. This is sufficiently structured to suggest that it will need at least mid-term cellaring to reveal its full potential. Drink: 2027+. (Jan 2018)"
