95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Rugiens and Grands Epenots at Domaine Michel Gaunoux are such extraordinary wines that I do not always find that the Corton “Renardes” is superior to them, as in effect, the family really produces three grand cru quality wines. However, in 2011, I do have to give a slight nod to the Renardes as the most extraordinary of these three great young wines, as it offer sup a deep and youthfully spicy nose of cherries, pomegranate, complex, stony minerality, smoke and spice tones that remind me quite strongly of coriander seed and an array of Indian spices. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still very primary, with a great core of fruit, superb balance and grip, bright acids, suave tannins and excellent grip on the very long and beautifully focused finish. This is going to be a magnificent bottle at its zenith. 2025-2075. (Mar/Apr 2014)"
