Score 91/100 · Drink 2020-2035, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Dec 2016

The 2014 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru les Cheneverys, now in bottle, has a laid back, you could almost say "mellow" bouquet with earthy red berry fruit and granite aromas, less of the licorice scents that I detected from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit. This is quite structured and more masculine than the 2012 or 2013, a little "serious" at the moment, although it will gain more flesh with more bottle age.

Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2016

(30% vendange entier ; these vines are pruned en cordon , and the smaller berries never produce more than 35 hectoliters per hectare, according to Lignier): Dark red with ruby highlights. Wild, musky dark raspberry on the nose. Sweet, rich and seamless, boasting lovely thickness to its raspberry fruit. Very dense and very young, displaying a subtle touch of salinity to buffer its sweetness. But it's had to imagine that this wine will ever equal the Faconnières for complexity. Finishes with smooth tannins and excellent persistence.
