Score 94/100 · Drink 2017-2033, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Dec 2015

The 2014 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru needed a little more encouragement from the glass compared to its Chassagne label-mates, but it's worth persevering as it unveils subtle white peach and fresh pear scents interlaced with minerals that are very come-hither. The palate is more giving with a bead of acidity piercing the energetic citrus fruit and then it fans out towards the second half with orange rind and hints of peach. Very harmonious and magically long, this is a great Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet.

Score 90-93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2015

Totally different on the nose than the estate's premier crus in 2014, offering aromas of yellow plum, musky stone, gunflint and honey. Shows a honeyed, spicy sweetness in the middle palate but finishes with a dry edge. A second barrel was more reduced and in need of a racking. Hard to assess with confidence today but does not seem as good as the Caillerets or La Romanée.
