96 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2025).
95 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This dense, powerful wine has robust tannins and an impressively substantial texture, yet it is not lacking fruit. The forward, accessible blackberry aromas are scented with smoke, black tea, and floral notes. The grapes come from 0.83 hectares in the centre of this climat – arguably among the finest locations in Corton. The grapes are entirely fermented as whole clusters in 2022 but with a gentle extraction and are now ageing in cask with a modest amount of new wood. Drinking Window: 2027-2055. (5/30/23)"
93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru, 90% whole clusters that went through malo in June, has an expressive bouquet with redcurrant, black cherries, touches of damp forest floor and black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and bright black fruit, very well balanced with a crunchy texture. There’s impressive salinity on the finish that lingers in the mouth. Classic in style, this is an excellent Corton Clos du Roi. Drink: 2027-2045. (Jan 2024)"
92-95 points/'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from .84 ha holding of <75+ year old vines; 40% whole clusters). A completely different aromatic profile is proffered by the nose of intensely sauvage, smoky dark currant and plum. The delicious and tension-filled medium-bodied flavors possess good power on the serious and lingering finish that is borderline rustic. Excellent development potential here. Drink: 2034+. (Apr 2024)"
94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This finished its malo in July, but there is still some peppy gas in October. All the better to keep that freshness, even if the palate nonetheless feels a bit linear and firm now. Perky red plums, red currants, crushed flint and steak spices create a hedonistic bouquet. The flavors soak into the lingering finish, too. (2024)"
90-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "100% whole bunch vinification. A bright deep purple. The bouquet suggests dark fruit but is rather more backward. Tightly wound, salty as well as peppery, a mix of dark berries, tannins which currently come across as a little dry. Not completely coherent today, but may prove to be better than this rating. (Oct 2023)"
