Wine Advocate, 92-94 Points 
“Unwinding in the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, beeswax, orange oil and warm bread, the 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derrière Chez Edouard is medium to full-bodied, layered and searingly intense, with a chiseled, chalky profile and a long, saline finish. This is a serious Saint-Aubin, manifestly built for the long haul.” 
Vinous, 92-94 Points 
“The 2019 Saint-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard 1er Cru has a complex bouquet with green apples and a light, almost algae-like note, which probably sounds more pejorative than it is. The palate is well balanced with very precise mineral-driven citrus fruit that gains weight towards the finish. This fans out wonderfully and it will age for many years. Superb.” 
Burghound, 91-93 Points 
“Cool, restrained and airy aromas reflect notes of wafting citrus, white flower and spiced pear. The racy middle weight flavors exude a bead of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the gorgeously textured, chiseled and iodine-inflected finale. This is excellent though it’s also quite compact at present, so patience strongly suggested. Burghound Outstanding!”
