Robert Parker (94)

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes is also very promising, mingling aromas of pear and citrus zest with notions of almond paste, freshly baked bread, crushed mint and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, ample and concentrated, it's rich but tightly wound, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, penetrating finish.

Burghound (93)

A noticeably cooler nose somewhat grudgingly displays its array of more citrus-suffused aromas of white fleshed fruit, anise and wet stone. There is first-rate underlying tension to the sleek, concentrated and delicious medium-bodied flavors that exude a prominent bead of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the firm, youthfully austere and built-to-age finish that should easily repay most of a decade of keeping. This is a classic Grandes Ruchottes that is also excellent.
