Tim Atkin, 94 Points 

"This is a collection of various lieux-dits on the Puligny side of the appellation that average about 50 years in age. The result is a flattering Chassagne whose vibrant minerality pairs up harmoniously with yellow cherries and baked apple. There is lovely sap and whisper of discreet oak." 

Vinous, 90-92 Points 

"The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes, a blend of four parcels, has a fragrant nose of wild peach and light Granny Smiths, the malic element indicative of its Puligny leaning origin. The palate is well balanced with fine depth, a little more viscous and spicy in texture, fine extract here with a pleasing long finish. This will offer 15-20 years' drinking pleasure." 

Burghound, 89-91 Points 

"Note: from Les Houillères, En Journoblot and Les Beuttes. Moderate reduction masks everything but a touch of petrol character. The attractively textured and generous medium weight flavors possess good underlying tension while displaying fine length on the clean and sneaky long finish. I like the balance and would suggest allowing this 5 to 8 years of cellaring in order for better complexity to develop. Lovely and worth considering. *Burghound Outstanding!*" 

Jasper Morris, 89-91 Points 

"Includes Ancegnières this year. Clean pure lemon yellow. There is a nice touch of flesh suggested by the nose, though in fact the palate has a little refreshing lime note. However, there is a more classical white fruit across the palate. Less was lost here – just down 30%. Drink from 2024-2028." 

Wine Advocate, 88-90 Points 

"There's no Ancegnières this year, so everything is blended into the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, ample and elegant white evocative of pear, freshly baked bread, honey and mint. Precise and vibrant, without any asperity, it's a success."
