Robert Parker (95)

A blend based on Aloxe-Corton climat Les Languettes, complemented by some 20% fruit from Pernand-Vergelesses, Colin's 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was bought as grapes and pressed in house. Revealing aromas of pear, orange oil, freshly baked bread, beeswax and smoke, along with a delicate top note of petrol, it's full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with a charming, fleshy profile, lively acids and a long, saline finish.

Cask sample. Intensely mineral and taught; might have been even more impressed by this if I’d tasted it before the Chevalier. (MH)

Burghound (95)

Subtle wood influence is present on the cool, airy and extremely pretty aromas of green apple, citrus zest and plenty of floral nuances. The rich, delicious and concentrated medium-bodied flavors also exude evident minerality on the tautly muscular though not rustic, clean, dry and tightly wound finale. This is also built-to-age and a wine that will need at least a decade of patience if you wish to see it at its peak.

Jasper Morris (96)

Two suppliers. Fresh lemon yellow, the nose is completely changed after Meursault Perrières above. Heady and delicious yet also very well poised, quite a smoothness of fruit layering over the stones, but they are certainly there. Just the flesh is currently taking the upper hand. Very long, this will work well.
