James Suckling 94 points | I love the expansive and expressive nose of wild blackberry with a touch of forest floor. Ripe, concentrated and fresh on the very focused palate. Very long finish with so much mineral freshness for the warm vintage. Excellent aging potential! Drink or hold.Vinous 91 points Deep violet color_read more

The red and dark pinot fruit aromas are laced with plenty of earth and floral wisps. The energetic middle weight flavors possess fine precision and only a hint of rusticity on the dusty if mildly edgy backend_read more

Of the four hectares that Chandon de Briailles owns in Île de Vergelesses, one hectare is planted to Chardonnay. It's a clay and limestone soil, which is a part of the same geological break as Charlemagne; with more clay at the bottom of the parcel and very calcareous at the top_read more

Vinous 90 Points | The 2020 Fixin Clos du Chapitre 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet that delivers commendable mineralité, quite precise and focused.

The palate is smooth and very pliant, vivacious and slightly tart red fruit with just a touch of spice developing on the finish. This is a delight.

Wine Enthusiast | This grand cru monopole, owned by the Mommessin family, makes wine that charms easily, with its perfumes and berry fruit flavors. But there is a definite tannic character...read more

From steep south-east facing limestone slopes. A nose of fresh red berries and peppery notes. The palate is well balanced with more crunchy red berry fruits and a pleasant spine of tannins and acidity which adds structure. Winemaker Description.

Wine Spectator 90 Points | Dense, with blackberry and plum flavors shaded by iron, earth and spice. Shows broad shoulders and dusty tannins, but plenty of fruit too.Vinous 91 points The 2020 Pommard Les Vignots has a lively, minty bouquet that is well defined, quite floral with iris flowers emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite structured with a vibrant saline finish that lingers. This must be the "dark horse" of Monnot's range.

Jasper Morris 88-91 Points | 40% whole bunch and a short cuvaison. Rich, intense purple. I don’t find it easy to discern Gevrey on the nose, more the vintage and the house style.
