93-95 points Fine Wine Review: "Technical director Brian Sieve said that people who had balance in 2017 didn’t have hard frost in 2016; those with hard frost, had copious quantities. The reds here weren’t hit super hard in 2016. Is that a partial explanation for the brilliant quality of these wines? ...Floral nose. Intense, powerful, relatively big in mouth. Mineral red fruits — raspberries, red cherries. Round tannins. 75 year-old vines. 2/3 whole cluster, 50% new oak. (5/8/19)"
93-94 points James Suckling: "Very attractive sweet, ripe fruit with a fine array of red and violet flowers, as well as some briar and chalky, stony nuances. The palate delivers a strong core of powerfully dense tannins that carry long and even. This is regal, true to type and beautifully executed. Old vines and 100 per cent whole clusters here. Try from 2022. (1/26/19)"
93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has a complex nose of dark berry fruit mixed with touches of meat juice and spicebox, slightly musky, with neatly integrated oak. The poised palate offers grainy tannins, crisp and crunchy red berry fruit laced with orange peel, and gentle grip toward a finely proportioned finish that lingers beautifully. Bon vin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. Drink: 2024-2042. (Jan 2022)"

90-93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(66% whole clusters). This quite resembles the Grèves with its brooding nose that displays notes of poached plum, wild red currant and violet along with wisps of spice and warm earth. The mid-palate of the larger-scaled flavors is quite supple, and especially so for Corton, though the youthfully austere and serious finish tightens up considerably. Drink: 2032+. (Apr 2019)"
