Decanter, 94 Points 

"This village-level wine is a reliable benchmark for the commune. It reflects the sunny character of the vintage with its ripe stone fruit and citrus notes, yet offers depth and complexity as well, with saline hints, flint and fresh white flowers. The texture is silky and approachable. It’s drinking now, but with enough substance to hold for five to 10 years. From a blend of seven parcels totalling 4.6ha; the two largest in Les Tremblots, downslope from Bâtard, and Les Brelances, which touches Les Clavoillons."  

Vinous, 92 Points 

"The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Village has a nicely detailed bouquet of green apples. It's a touch spicier than the Bourgogne Blanc, with a trace of walnut coming through with aeration. The palate is nicely balanced with a keen line of acidity, sour lemon hints and, again, that spice that lingers on the aftertaste." 

Burghound, 90-92 Points 

"Note: from several different lieux-dits, 30% of which is from Brélance with major contributions from Les Tremblots and Grands Champs. A markedly more floral-suffused nose features notes of cool Granny Smith apple, citrus and a touch of mineral reduction. The caressing, delicious and plump but agreeably energetic medium-bodied flavors possess solid depth and persistence on the balanced, firm and highly refreshing finale. This is also excellent for its level and a wine that should drink well after only 3 to 4 years of keeping but age gracefully for a decade. Recommended.*Burghound Outstanding!*"
