Decanter: 93 Points

93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This delicious village-level Vosne is not yet racked and, at present, is a bit restrained; still, there is a lot of substance here, with an elegant currant fruit aroma and hints of smoke, spice and earth. The grapes come from three parcels: two in Aux Réas at the village's southern end on the border with Nuits and one in Au-dessus de la Rivière (with a total surface of 1.2 hectares). The grapes are entirely destemmed and gently fermented on native yeasts before ageing in cask (30% new). Ideally, age for a year or two before opening. Drinking Window: 2028-2055. (Nov 2023)"

Inside Burgundy: 91-93 Points

91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "From Aux Réas and Au Dessus de la Rivière, made apart, but which will be assembled. No whole bunches, 20% new wood. Pink purple, with a lively and very pure fruit, gracious right across the palate, excellent poise and balance. Very graceful. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted: November 2023."

Vinous: 90-92 Points

90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Village was taken from barrel, with just a handful of stems added. The crisp bouquet is backward at first yet tensile with a hint of lavender. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. It’s a fine-boned and focused Vosne with light grip and admirable transparency on the finish. Finesse. Drink: 2025-2035. (Jan 2024)"

Burghound: 90-92 Points

90-92 points/'Outstanding/Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Aux Réas and Au Dessus de la Rivière with a tiny amount of Basses Maizières). Here the nose is moderately reduced with only hints of spice peeking through. Otherwise, there is fine volume to the dense medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a robust, dusty and serious finale that flirts with rusticity. While this isn't an elegant Vosne villages, there is excellent depth already along with very fine length. Drink: 2032+. (Jan 2024)"
