93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2012 Corton 'Cuvée Baurdon' from Domaine Ponsot is another superb bottle in the making, but it does not quite share the same velvety texture to the tannins as the wines from the Côte de Nuits. This cuvée is made up of grapes from four different parcels on the hill of Corton, with Laurent Ponsot joking that 'I cannot tell you which lieux à dits the grapes come from, as then you could guess who I am working with in Corton.' The bouquet on the 2012 is deep and sappy, wafting from the glass in a complex blend of black cherries, black plums, chocolate, dark soil tones (very much reminiscent of Renardes) and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and plush on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, lovely soil signature and a very long, ripely tannic and still quite primary finish. This will be a lovely bottle of Corton and should age for a very long time. 2025-2065. (Nov/Dec 2013)"
