Pousse d'Or Corton-Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2016

93-95 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Medium deep purple. This is more accessible than apparently is typical at this stage, but even so a touch more structured than their Bressandes. The tannins are fine grained, the fruit concentrated at the back of the palate, with lovely red and black notes and good acidity. It is a keeping wine but with a supple middle."

92-95 points Fine Wine Review: "This wine shows good finesse for Corton, along with Corton power and mineral, intense dark fruits. (Nov 2016)"

94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "The ripe and ultra-fresh aromas are from the darker side of the fruit spectrum while including plenty of spice, warm earth, menthol and plenty of sauvage character. There is both fine detail and a beguiling texture to the equally broad-shouldered and even more mineral-inflected flavors that possess even better complexity on the balanced and hugely long finish. Unusually, this appears to be just a bit less structured than the Bressandes and should also be approachable on the younger side if that's your preference. Drink: 2028+. (Apr 2018)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has more richness and intensity than the Corton-Bressandes at this early stage, with layers of black cherry and raspberry coulis, brown spices and sous-bois surfacing with time. There is certainly good complexity here. The palate is fresh and detailed on the entry, fine-grained tannin, well-judged acidity and a lively, judiciously spiced finish that feels long and caressing. Bon vin. Drink: 2021-2040. (12/29/17)"
