93-96 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Very hazy. Lovely perfume of pear, apple, spices and metallic minerality, complicated by a medicinal nuance. Juicy, spicy and light on its feet, offering a compelling combination of sweetness (especially for Corton-Charlemagne!) and lively gingery perfume. Surprisingly easy to taste today. Finishes very lively, polished and long, with lovely class. Not at all thick but not austere either. A beauty in the making. (Sep/Oct 2013)"

95 points (17.5/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "With the Corton-Charlemagne, energy and mouthfeel are enhanced. The wine shows its muscles and power. It's in sync with its fruit. (2015)"

94 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$400 list] Aromas of lemon cake, white flowers and sweet spices lead to lime, apple and hazelnut flavors in this elegant, intense and well-balanced white. Almost seamless now, but should improve with age. Best from 2016 through 2026. 40 cases imported. (9/30/14)"

93 points Jeannie Cho Lee, MW (Decanter): "Concentrated with very dense flavours that are well supported by fresh acidity. Palate offers intensity and lots of extract, but there is finely etched flavour definition to support it. Drinking Window: 2018-2028. (1/2/15)"
