Pale primrose. Tremendous concentration and muscularity here but very precise and that stone minerality draws it all back into a very focused, lissom, textured Corton that will be wonderful when its moment comes. Superb. Drinking range: 2025 - 2028 L&S (Nov 2021)

Rich and round, this fleshy white displays peach, apple, stone and spicy oak aromas and flavors matched to a vivid structure, with defining acidity and a light tannic feel on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2036. Drinking range: 2025 - 2036 Rating: 94 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (Mar 2023)
from two parcels that total .866 ha in Le Rognet and Le Corton). A cool, restrained and airy nose features notes of mineral reduction, smoked green apple and pretty floral wisps. There is fine density and power to the larger-bodied flavors that possess a caressing if markedly intense flavors that exhibit outstanding depth and persistence. This is an excellent wine that displays first-rate fruit-acid and concentration balance. Drinking range: 2030 - Rating: 93-95 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2022)
This wine tends to be one of the last harvested at the domaine, and it always undergoes the longest elevage. This had just undergone a battonage a few days before and Jérôme Flous expected it wouldn't be racked until February. Impressively, it sees 50% new oak, but it is seamlessly blended into this lively wine tasting of lemonade, yellow currants and crushed chalk. This is delightful now, but Jérôme prefers waiting about ten years for the struck flint complexity that starts to show up then.

From four different plots. Quite restrained on the nose. However, there is good concentration of fruit on the palate. Some toasty notes too. Not as powerful as some and perhaps lacking a shade of complexity to push it in...(read more)
