Vinous: 91-93 Points

The 2022 Meursault Les Vireuils returns after a few years away this cuvée from an exchange of fruit. The nose is expressive with yellow plum and pithy with a tangible underlying mineralité. The palate is fresh on the entry with hints of white peach and slithers of Clementine. It has lovely balance and purity with an open-knit tensile finish. Excellent. (Drink between 2025 - 2038). 01/24

Jasper Morris: 90-92 Points

An interesting fresher terroir which he used to make and has now found a new supplier. Mid lemon yellow. There is some ripe citrus on the nose as well as orchard fruit. Very good finish the fruit keeps returning. 11/23

Burghound: 90-92 Points

Noticeably cooler aromas freely reveal their combination of hazelnut Granny Smith apple carnation and zest scents. The super-sleek well-detailed and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel while exhibiting fine length on the youthfully austere balanced and sneaky long finish. This is a really lovely Meursault villages and worth checking out. (Drink starting 2029). 06/24

Wine Advocate: 89-92 Points

Revealing aromas of pear citrus zest iodine white flowers and struck match the 2022 Meursault Vireuils is medium to full-boded satiny and racy with tangy acids and a saline finish. 01/24

Jancis Robinson: 16+ Points

Cask sample. Mid lemon. Lighter fresher nose and fruit than the St-Aubin Sur Gamay. White flowers apple and citrus. Open and very flattering. Keen and tonic. (MH) (Drink between 2025 - 2030)/ 11/23
