93-96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Corton Clos du Roi is a model of delicacy and finesse. Dark raspberries, wild flowers and savory herbs all meld together gracefully in a wine that is all about transparency, nuance and detail. Texture and a total sense of polish are some of the signatures that are impossible to miss. Dried herbs, crushed flowers and anise are all woven together nicely through to the finish. Drink: 2022-2037. (Jan 2014)"
92-94 points and 'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(100% whole clusters). A ripe and brooding nose that is intensely sauvage in character also grudgingly displays an array of various dark berries cut with plenty of floral influence. This is a markedly muscular wine with excellent size, weight and an almost pungent minerality adding lift to the concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that culminate in an extract-rich, balanced and hugely long finish. This is an impressive old school Corton that is notably firm but not particularly austere. Drink: 2024+. (Apr 2014)"
