98 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Corton-Charlemagne expresses itself through a sensation of cold minerality in the nose. On the palate, we find the thickness and solidity of its birthplace, with fruit of incredible harmony, whose precision serves the architecture of the wine. (2025)"
97 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2025).
95-97 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pale in colour and though there is a light veneer of oak, this has a classical white fruit. There is tremendous energy starting in the middle of the palate and developing very well through to an exciting, stone laden finish. This should be a brilliant example. (Oct 2023)"
93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is located in the "Pougets" lieu-dit towards the top of the south/southeast facing part of the hill on red clay soils. The nose, more refined than its peers, offers lemon verbena mixed with chai tea and almonds. The palate is well-balanced with gentle grip and quite sapid in the mouth. It’s not a Corton-Charlemagne with huge matières, but it delivers in terms of tension and freshness on the finish. Excellent. Drink: 2026-2045. (Jan 2024)"
93-95 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.1ha holding in Pougets). Here too there is moderate oak influence surrounding the aromas of poached pear, white flowers, crushed fennel and a lovely spicy quality. There is outstanding volume and density to the markedly powerful mineral-driven flavors that deliver excellent persistence on the youthfully austere finale. Pougets generally gives a relatively elegant CC but this version is muscular and while not exactly robust, it isn't especially refined. Even so, I very much like this and in particular for its evident development potential. Drink: 2034+. (Jun 2024)"
94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Despite its massive size and concentration, the Corton-Charlemagne from Domaine de Montille retains great elegance and finesse. There are ripe apple and quince aromas with hints of fresh white flowers, spice, and cream. The texture is dense and rich but the wine stays this side of heavy. We tasted a representative blend of several barrels; the grapes are slowly pressed and fermented with nearly all their lees in cask (35% new) to produce this intense white from the Corton Pougets lieu-dit. Drinking Window: 2027-2055. (5/30/23)"
94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Hailing from Les Pougets on the southern side of the Corton hill, this shows a bit more richness and creaminess than usual in this vintage. It starts with churned butter and beeswax then yields to sweet but crisp orchard fruits. Hints of dried white flowers come through on the long and gracious finish. (2024)"
