93 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Given its position below Corton Rognet, it's no surprise that this parcel, located in Ladoix but labelled as an Aloxe-Corton premier cru, often makes such impressive wines. Textured, layered and hauntingly scented, this has 50% stems and 60% new wood, with fine, zesty wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Drinking Window: 2020-2025. (Oct 2018)"

90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Aloxe-Corton La Toppe Au Vert 1er Cru comes from a parcel of vines just below the house that belonged to Michel Mallard’s grandfather. It has a pretty bouquet of light floral scents, crushed chalk filtering through the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, quite masculine in style, with a brittle but quite long finish. There is good structure here but it manages to convey a sense of elegance. Drink: 2021-2030. (Jan 2019)"
