Wow! An expressive Corton Charlemagne - nearly. Rich and so tautly mineral. Gunflint on stones. Rocks and glass-hard pebbles. Feels like fifteen years. Brilliant! L&S (Dec 2009)

Rich and savoury and smoky on the nose but a teensy bit confected. Quite chewy on the finish. 2011-2017 Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2010)
Pale color. Soil-driven aromas of nut oil, nutmeg and crushed stone. Wonderfully silky and ripe but at the same time quite backward and classically dry, with a powerful vanilla-and-spice character and the structure of a red wine. This impressively tactile wine is from grapes picked between October 5 and 10, all in Aloxe-Corton. Rating: 92-95 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept 2009)
