- 89-91 points - "Outstanding Top Value" - Burgundy: "A more elegant and again exuberantly fresh nose offers up notes of citrus zest, pear, green apple, resin and pretty floral elements. The racy, intense and slightly bigger medium weight flavors are rich yet highly energetic flavors that possess notably better depth and length on the relatively linear and dry finish. This is presently fairly tightly wound and will need a few years of bottle age first. Drink 2021+."- Allen Meadows, Burghound
- 88-90 points - Wine Advocate: "The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet le Concis du Champs, which Olivier Lamy reminded me is always the first to be harvested, has a lovely pear and light gooseberry-scented bouquet, a touch of mint developing with time. The palate is crisp and lively with a fine line of acidity, harmonious and graceful with a very poised and charming finish. What a lovely wine to drink over the next 5-6 years."- Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
