Wine Advocate, 89-91 Points

"The 2023 Saint-Aubin Village offers up a gently reductive bouquet of white flowers, pear and toasted bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it's long and racy, concluding with chalky grip." 

Jasper Morris, 88-90 Points 

"There was some hail here, so lower yields. More lime than lemon in colour, with a fresh apple fruit to the nose, perhaps some greengage behind, stylish and with good length. Fine tension, still some edges to smooth out, but this should be good. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024." 

Vinous, 88-90 Points 

"The 2023 Saint-Aubin Village is a blend of four or five parcels. This is already quite seductive with hints of vanilla pod and almond flakes on the well-defined nose. The palate is well balanced, fresh and poised with a keen line of acidity and a malic finale of green apple and pear. The 2023 doesn't quite deliver the complexity of the previous vintage, but it will drink well for several years." 

Burghound, 

"Note: from Les Pucelles, Le Banc, Le Bas de Monin and En Choilles. Smoky white orchard fruit and floral scents leads to soft and caressing, if not especially concentrated, flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the similar lemon-tinged finale. This could use better depth so 2 to 3 years of keeping should help."
