Vinous, 93 Points 

"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuisse, Les Crays 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet, a little mentholy compared to the preceding Marchaude. Maybe a little more exotic, yet it is still captivating. The palate is very well balanced and poised, quite powerful yet there is focus and impressive delineation on the composed finish. Superb." 

Burghound, 90-92 Points 

"Note: from 60+ year old vines located in Vergisson. Firm reduction once again pushes the underlying fruit the background. On the palate I very much like the texture of the delicious and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the moderately firm, attractively dry and lingering finale. This too would benefit from having better depth so a few years of bottle aging should be helpful in that regard."
