Vinous, 93-95 Points 

"The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru has (another) very well defined bouquet with redcurrant, cranberry and sous-bois aromas, a little stemminess in the background.  The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, impressive depth, but what underpins this premier cru is the freshness and tension on the finish.  It should age with style.  Superb." 

Burghound, 91-94 Points  

"Ripe and brooding aromas grudgingly display notes of poached plum, spice, a variety of floral elements and earth that are trimmed in admirably discreet wood. The dense, powerful and tautly muscular medium weight plus flavors exude evident minerality on the impressively complex, persistent and serious finale. This is excellent plus it's a wine that always ages well, almost irrespective of vintage." 

Decanter, 93 Points 

"This is more blueberry and mulberry than black fruit; still ripe, deeply coloured and very fragrant. The texture is structured and rich, with the cool site bringing enough freshness to ensure a long and lively finish. From the premier cru part of Chaffots that faces east and south, opposite the Clos des Lambrays at the exit of the combe between 300-330m."
