DECANTER Tim Atkin
2018 (97), 2017 (95), 2016 "This wine is a sinewy, well-structured red with quite a bit of oak at the moment, subtle clove spice, fine tannins and the chalky vivacity and fruit concentration of the Grand Cru." (96) 2015 (95) 2014 Top25 to watch list (96)
2017 (17), 2016 "Very juicy but with real class and lift. Nicely judged with proper climat expression. Builds on the finish. Serious wine – as well it might be at this price! Very long with raciness." (18), 2015 (17+), 2014 (16.5+).

VINOUS Neil Martin
2017 "The Pommard Les Rugiens Bas 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, wilted rose petal and undergrowth/mulch scents that gains delineation with time. The medium-bodied palate is quite fresh and poised, with fine tannin and a very refined, lightly spiced finish that fans out wonderfully. This comes highly recommended. (93)
BURGHOUND Allen Meadows
2019 (93), 2018 (93), 2017 (92), 2016 "A discreet application of wood sets off an appealingly spicy nose of black cherry, rasberry, like the Chaponnières, a touch of the sauvage..." (93), 2015 (94), 2014 (90-93).
2018 (16.5), 2017 "Bottled. Mid to light crimson. Smells a little riper and sweeter than the Pommard Perrières. Lightly peppery, mouth-watering and elegant. Super-fine tannins." (16,5), 2016 (16+), 2015 (16+).
VINOUS Neil Martin
2017 "The Pommard Les Chaponnières 1er Cru has a fragrant and floral bouquet, peony and rose petal aromas infusing the red cherry and raspberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and quite spicy in the mouth, with supple tannin and a finely structured finish. There is a sense of confidence about this Pommard that feels reassuring. Excellent." (92), 2016 (91)

2019 (91), 2018 (91), 2017 (91), 2016 "The rich, muscular and solididly well-concentrated big-bodied flavors culminate in a mouth coating, moderately rustic and impressively persistent finish..." (92), 2015 (93), 2014 (89-92).
2017 (16,5), 2016 "Concentreted and without rought edges. Pretty smart stuff." (16,5)
VINOUS Neil Martin
2017 "The Pommard Clos-Blanc 1er Cru has a masculine, quite earthy bouquet that displays touches of damp undergrowth – quintessential Pommard in many ways. The well-balanced palate offers dark berry fruit infused with notes of pain d’épices and cracked black pepper, and a finely structured finish. This should give 12 to 15 years of drinking pleasure." (92)
Wine Advocate Neil Martin
2015"The Pommard Clos-Blanc 1er Cru is agreat and pleasant surprise. It displays more red fruit on the nose compared to tis peers, pushing crushed strawberry and raspberry scents to the fore and revealing hints of black truffle and graphite with continued aeration... Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting " (93)

2015 "This the best example that I have seen since the Launay 2002, whitch was made from the same vines but not by Xavier" (92)
2017 "Bottled. Mid crimson. Inviting, gently stony red fruit. Juicy, supple and rather delicate for a Pommard, the tannins fine and dry, paper fine." (16) 2015 "Mid ruby. firm nose. An then very solid and chewy on the end..." (16+), 2014 (15,5++).
VINOUS Neil Martin
2017 "Les Perrières offers lovely red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate scents on the nose, all well defined and quite intense for a village cru. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. A little earthiness surfaces towards the finish, which feels long and poised. This is a fine Pommard from Xavier Horiot. " (90)
