Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Though sleek in profile, this white has intensity to its lemon oil, jasmine, citronella, peach and stone aromas and flavors, all aligned with a viscous texture and bracing acidity. A bit raw now, yet the long aftertaste reveals its potential. Best from 2025 through 2033. 20 cases imported.

Sweet spot
Here too there is a petrol character to the cooler and more elegant aromas of mostly green apple, Asian-style tea and high-toned floral whiffs. There is outstanding density to the almost painfully intense larger-scaled flavors that brim with minerality on the beautifully textured, compact and tightly coiled finale. This is also very backward but a wine that clearly possesses first-rate development potential.
James Suckling: 94 Points
A big wine for a Corton Grand Cru in such a challenging vintage! At first it is dark and smoky, but with a little aeration the ripe mirabelle fruit and Amalfi lemon freshness expands on the concentrated and well-structured nose. It has already absorbed the new oak and this has certainly contributed to the weight and power on the palate. The firm and tight finish suggests this will benefit from a bit more bottle aging. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
