James Suckling - 96 Points
A fabulous Corton Charlemagne with an impressive density, yet the bright acidity gives this white agility. Full body, compressed and layered mouthfeel. Salty and minerally finish. (6/2015)
Wine Spectator - 95 Points
We wrapped up with the chalky austerity of Corton-Charlemagne, flashing apple and pear, balancing richness with intensity and a very long, mouthwatering, savory aftertaste. (2/2015)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 94 Points
The 2013 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a very reserved nose at first, but unfolds in the glass to reveal hints of yellow plum, orange peel and light limestone scents. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite saline in the mouth, with commendable precision toward the finish. This is certainly one of the better Corton-Charlemagne 2013s – chapeau.

Meadows Burghound - 93 Points
From a huge 3.65 ha plot in Le Corton). A reserved nose displays background notes of wood on the green apple, pear, citrus blossom and lemon zest aromas. The big-bodied, concentrated and attractively textured flavors possess ample mid-palate fat that serves to render the firm acidity almost invisible yet the firm and impressively long finish is borderline austere. I like the complexity and balance and while 2013 is not the most refined vintage I’ve seen for this wine, it should be approachable earlier than usual, which is to say after 5 to 7 years. (6/2015)
