95 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Just bottled last week. Clear with the usual lime tint. Nothing distinct on the nose as yet, but plenty follows in the mouth with stones and lemon juice. Very tight, delivering proper depth and length of quality here. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: October 2022. (May 2023)"
95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "The pretty nose does not prepare you for the underlying muscle in this white wine. Plus, it's not rock-hard power; this is incredibly succulent for a Corton Charlie. Hazelnut and shortbread compliment the white nectarine and Rainier cherries. Les Languettes of Ladoix, where the vines are about 50 years old, provides 80% of the fruit and the rest, about 30 years old, comes from the Pernand side of the hill. 2024-40. (2022)"
93-95+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "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.(Jan 2022)"
93-95 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(the proportions have changed again and in 2020 this is 100% from Les Languettes in Aloxe). 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. Drink: 2030+. (Jun 2022)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(All from Languettes today – no-longer have the Pernand part of this cru). A little firework reduction – and good width – the rest a little compact. Really mouth-filling and energetic, layered too. Not yet the ultimate in definition – like a few here – but so impressive – almost a little blood orange in the blend of agrumes here I’m sure another great Charlemagne here – bravo! (12/23/21)"
