93-94 points/'Very Fine,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Corton is from the Clos des Meix – i.e. just around the Aloxe-Corton village. This is a rather juicy Corton with lovely lightness, helped by the use of 50% whole clusters. In the end, I would have preferred a somewhat lighter extraction, and I could fear this could close down after bottling. Drink from 2035. (6/2/22)" 92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "From Clos des Meix only this year. Lovely mid purple, this is one of the more stylish types of Corton. Just a few tannins behind but they are ripe and there is a graceful quality to the fruit which sweeps through to an excellent finish. (Nov 2021)"
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Corton Grand Cru has a lively bouquet, well-defined with blackberry and raspberry fruit, touches of chalk dust. The palate is well balanced with a touch of reduction, good density with brambly red berry fruit laced with black pepper and clove on the finish. Very fine. Drink: 2026-2045. (Dec 2021)"
