91-94 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous: "Pale greenish-yellow color. Precise aromas of yellow fruits, spearmint and white flowers, with nicely integrated oak tones. Broader and more powerful in the mouth than the Bienvenues, showing better integration of oak. The yellow fruit flavors carry through to a more phenolic, distinctly tongue-dusting finish. Some unabsorbed CO2 gives this wine a firm edge. (The young Corton-Charlemagne, from fruit picked at the end of the harvest, boasts terrific depth of flavor and mineral richness but was hard to taste owing to its remaining malic acidity.)" 6/16
90-92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "This too is sufficiently reduced to render an evaluation of the nose impossible. There is more volume still to the concentrated, thick and opulent flavors that are borderline massive, all wrapped in a sappy and overtly powerful finish. As the description suggests this is a big wine but I prefer the relatively more elegant presentation of the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. Moreover I would not be inclined to age this for more than a few years as it risks becoming heavy." 6/17
