Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes is one of the range's high points opening in the glass with aromas of orange zest peach white flowers and toasted almonds followed by a medium to full-bodied satiny and suave palate that's elegantly textural and racy concluding with a long saline finish. 01/24

Jasper Morris: 91-94 Points

Clear pale lemon colour. Quite a crisp almost chiselled nose with a little yellow plum fruit showing on the palate. Generous yet still very refined with a long clean finish. The fruit returns happily at the end. First picked and already at perfect ripeness. - 11/23

Vinous: 91-93 Points

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru is quite intense on the nose crisp with hints of hazelnut infusing the citrus fruit a little Meursault-like in style. The palate has a twist of sour lemon on the entry fresh and very saline penetrating on the finish thanks to its razor-sharp acidity. Give this two or three years in bottle. (Drink between 2025 - 2040). 01/24

Burghound: 90-93 Points

There is a vague whiff of exotic fruit character to the elegant fresh and airy nose of rosemary oil poached pear and citrus confit. The succulent caressing and sappy medium-bodied flavors coat the palate with dry extract while displaying excellent length on the equally citrus-tined finale that offers just a bit more depth. Lovely and ageworthy. (Drink starting 2030). 06/24

Jancis Robinson: 16.5+ Points

Cask sample. Mid lemon. Floral top notes above concise apple and citrus. Apple and pie dough lead onto a chalky mid palate and equally mineral finish. Good concentration again balance and a certain floral lift. (MH) (Drink between 2028 - 2038)
