97-98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A sleeping giant! Incredibly complex structure with enormous earthy depth, the sweet fruit really coming through in the spectacular finish. Wild energy! Long term stuff, but the aftertaste is incredible. (8/8/23)"
96-98 points Fine Wine Review: "Last among the reds, the flagship Corton-Clos des Cortons Faiveley has earthiness and minerality in the nose with some violets showing through. The mouth displays the finesse of the vintage that plays against the power of Corton, and the wine has layers of texture, freshness, and outstanding tension. Simply great! (8/24/23)"
94-96 points/'5 Star Wine,' Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A brilliant intense purple. Immediately on the nose there is a nobility over and above anything else in the cellar. The fruit swells across the palate without losing its sense of identity. There is an equilibrium from perfect structure backing this intensity of fruit. Harmonious structure, well integrated oak and impressive length. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: October 2023.."
94-96 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is also a real success, unfurling in the glass with rich aromas of cherries, berries, peonies, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated palate that's cool and stony, with a tightly wound core framed by sweet but chalky tannins. This will be long lived. (1/18/24)"
94-96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has a potent nose: think of grandmother's potpourri you smelled in her old house. It almost overwhelms that red fruit behind it. The palate is well-balanced with pure red cherry, wild strawberry, and finely-knit tannins. It’s one of the more elegant Cortons tasted with a touch of piquancy on the finish. Delightful. Drink after 8-10 years if you can resist temptation. Drink: 2030-2055. (Jan 2024)"
95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Deep in color, this shows smashed strawberries, sliced red plums, rose buds and a hint of vanilla. The palate is sensuously smooth with bewitching flavor density. Dried red berries come through on the cheekily fresh and lingering finish. Already very complete, this was my personal favorite of the Faiveley reds. (2024)"
93-95 points/'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A pungent nose of wood toast and reduction dominate the nose. More interesting are the fresh and vibrant broad-shouldered flavors that possess both excellent volume and delineation while delivering impressively length on the powerful, youthfully austere, firm and very serious finale where a hint of warmth gradually makes itself known. This is excellent and like all good examples of Corton, very much built-to-age. Drink: 2034+. (Jan 2024)"
