Vinous, 92-94 Points 

"The maiden 2023 Meursault Casse-Têtes comes from half a hectare of vines. It shows a little more reduction on the nose than the other cuvées, but there is real intensity and drive here. The palate is quite powerful with great depth, fine acidity and hints of nectarine and spice. There's plenty of horsepower on the finish. Give this two or three years once in bottle because this constitutes a very impressive debut that equals some of Roulot's Premier Crus." 

Wine Advocate, 91-93 Points 

"The 2023 Meursault Casse-Têtes derives from another new lieu-dit from Roulot, and insiders who know this climat won't be surprised that it's excellent. Offering up gently reductive aromas of pear, citrus oil, white flowers and struck flint, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with tangy acids, excellent concentration and chalky grip on the finish." 

Jasper Morris, 90-93 Points 

"The second of the new Meursault cuvées, which have arrived ex-Bouchard Père & Fils. Fine and fresh, white pears and apples, with energy. Real tension, straight on the limestone, linear with backbone, far from the hazelnuts and butter of the past. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024."
