Decanter, 95 Points 

"The vineyards farmed by the domaine were so badly damaged by frost and rain in 2021 that the premier cru parcels in Chassagne (like the village-level vines) were blended together. At the premier cru level this includes Chenevottes, Caillerets, and Abbaye de Morgeot; the result was seven barrels instead of 25, but the quality of what remained was tremendous, with ripe apple and pear fruit aromas kissed with a floral edge and a firm mineral note. The texture showed pleasant density and nice 'shoulders' – admirable length, breadth and substance. This is impressive wine by any measure." 

Wine Advocate, 91-93 Points 

"A blend of all Pierre-Yves's premiers crus, the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru is chiseled and concentrated, revealing aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, buttery pastry, mint and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a long, chalky finish, it will really benefit from further élevage." 

Jasper Morris, 90-92 Points 

"A blend of Abbaye de Morgeot, Chenevottes and Baudines, in proportions of 50-40-10 roughly. Pale colour, fresh, racy fruit on the nose, juicy at the front of the palate, stricter behind, white fruit, plenty of tension. More linear than broad. Drink from 2025-2030."
