Burghound, 92 Points 

"A pure, elegant and cool nose features the essence of green apple, pear and discreet acacia blossom hints. There is excellent intensity to the more mineral-driven flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension while delivering very fine length on the chiseled, very dry and balanced finale. Excellent and worth your interest. *Burghound Outstanding Top Value!*" 

Wine Spectator, 92 Points 

"An elegant version, offering floral, lemon, baking spice and mineral flavors. This lean white feels like there's more to give on the long, citrus- and oak-tinged finish." 

Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points 

"The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots offers up aromas of pear, crisp stone fruits, orange oil and wet chalk, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and elegant palate with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a long, mineral finish. The 2020 vintage is another very promising year for Pierre-Yves Colin, who finds the wines a bit more charming and demonstrative than the more serious, structured 2019s—the latter a vintage we revisited in bottle and which appears to possess considerable aging potential. As readers may know, Colin's bigger cuvées are crushed and see four-hour press cycles, whereas smaller cuvées aren't crushed but see even longer press cycles lasting five or more hours. Vinification and maturation in barrel, with a heavy emphasis on larger-format barrels, follows."
