Wine Advocate (95)The 2019 Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne is performing superbly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, citrus zest, warm toast and pear. Medium to full-bodied, immensely concentrated and complete, it's seamless and penetrating, underpinned by a tangy spine of acidity and concluding with a long, saline finish. This 2019 combines the cut of a vintage such as 2017 with the hyper-concentrated, almost "passerillé" style of a year such as 2015—a rare combination that should age prodigiously well. |

Wine Advocate (96)The 2022 Mâcon-Pierreclos Juliette et les Vieilles de Chavigne is one of the high points of the range, unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of pear and waxy citrus framed by notions of iodine and smoky reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's muscular and concentrated, with a racy spine, terrific depth at the core and a long, pure finish. Readers will have fun deciding which rendition of this cuvée is their favorite, but what is certain is that anyone who loves profound white Burgundy will want to own them all. |

Vinous (91+)(this selection of the best grapes also included fruit picked at the beginning, middle and end of the harvest; the alcoholic fermentation lasted until February of 2015): Bright yellow. Ripe peach, lemon and nutty, spicy oak on the nose; a bit more exotic and less floral than the Chavigne. Fat, very ripe and dry, with a deep leesy quality contributing to the wine's concentration and tactile character. Thick with extract and lightly saline in the middle palate and on the long, resounding back end. Still youthfully bound-up but there's nothing hard or dry about this very rich wine. |
