- 94 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „A fresh and focused 2020 with blackcurrants, bark and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with very well integrated tannins and a firm and bright finish. Drinkable, but better in a year or two.“
- 92 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: „The 2020 Les Grands Chenes is terrific, just as it was en primeur. Blackberry jam, gravel, tobacco, scorched earth and espresso sturate the palate with remarkable depth. This deep, flavorful Medoc is a tremendous effort rfom Bernard Magrez and his team. My only complaint ist he absurdly heavy bottle, whic his completely out of touch with today’s world.“
- 92 Punkte WINE CELLAR INSIDER, Jeff Leve: „Deeply colored, the wine opens with dark, red and black fruit, licorice, espresso bean, smoke, flower and herb scents. Lush, round, sweet, and supple on the palate, the wine is packed with sweet, ripe, dark red fruits leaving you with a supple-textured finish. This is one of the finest vintages of Les Grands Chenes. Drink from 2023-2040.“
