After the Le Montrachet you notice there is more heft here. a cliff of beautiful bright white fruit - then some riper notes follow. Lemon tart creaminess and sprightly pep too. Bright and clean as a whistle but still that cleanly-cleaved heft. Dense yet with grace and flow. Serious. L&S (Oct 2018)

The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is another example where I feel there are some sulfur issues on the nose, though they are slight and should integrate with time. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, taut and fresh, leading to a spicy, ginger-tinged finish. This showed marked improvement in the glass. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. Drinking range: 2023 - 2034Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)

The superb 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru exhibits a youthfully reserved bouquet of lemon oil, white flowers, smoky reduction and wet stones. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and phenolic, with chewy extract and almost tannic structure, that is more in keeping with a red wine, rather than a white. Long, focused and incisive, it's a mineral expression of Corton-Charlemagne that's built for the cellar. Rating: 93-95 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2019)
