95 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Combining grapes from two parcels, one in Pernand-Vergelesses and the other in Aloxe-Corton, this is a superb 65/35 blend that marries two very different terroirs. The 40% new wood needs a little more time to integrate, but this is a racy, subtle, intense Corton-Charlemagne with the precision and focus that you expect from a Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey white. Drinking Window: 2022-2028. (Oct 2019)"
95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$345 list] Well-marked by toasty, smoky oak, this white also delivers concentrated peach, pear and lemon notes, backed by a vibrant structure. The oak is intrusive now, so decant or give this a few more years of bottle age. Best from 2023 through 2030. 25 cases imported. (9/30/21)"
19/20 points Julia Harding, MW (JancisRobinson.com): "Fermented in 350-litre oak. Made from 2003 onwards. Two-thirds from Pernand (high and minerally) and one-third from Aloxe (upper slope in Les Languettes). Barrel sample.Smoky and quite subtle on the nose but the oak gives that creamy/mealy lees invitation. Really tightly wound but with amazing power. Not as open as the Perrières but the centre of gravity is perfect. Powerful and elegant. Pierces your heart. (JH) Drink: 2028-2038. (11/21/19)"
91-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Two thirds En Charlemagne, one third Languettes, high up in Aloxe. Purchased grapes but they do much of the vineyard work. Pale fresh colour. Lively nose, racy, no especial depth. Starts quietly, but there is a burst of concentration at the back. Interesting aftertaste with a touch of liquorice. (Oct 2019)"
