Vinous, 90-92 Points 

"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes has a very attractive bouquet that really translates the terroir. You can smell the limestone soils, a touch of shucked oyster shell coming through with time, punching through the light veil of reduction. The palate is well-balanced, with good concentration on the entry. There’s impressive weight, notes of orange pith and tangerine and a smear of marmalade, dovetailing into a lively, peppery finish. It will deserve three or four years in bottle, but this is a Chassagne of fine breeding." 

Burghound, 89-92 Points 

"Note: from Les Houillères, En Journoblot and Les Beuttes. Pungent aromas of moderate reduction and wood toast lead to rich, full-bodied and tension-filled flavors that brim with sappy dry extract while exhibiting outstanding length on the palate soaking and youthfully austere finale. Like several wines in the range, this needs to develop better depth but it's clear that more is on the way if given a chance.Recommended. *Burghound Outstanding Top Value!*" 

Wine Advocate, 89-91 Points 

"From holdings on the northern side of the appellation, at the exit of the combe (valley), the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes delivers aromas of pear, buttered toast, hazelnuts and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut and layered palate that's underpinned by chalky structure."
