96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "As for Corton, it exudes aromas of bramble and redcurrant. Its maturity gives it a lively acidity that is well integrated into the fruit. This wine will reveal itself in the bottle: patience! (2026)"
94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "This Corton bottling is made from a blend of fruit from the climats of les Chaumes and les Combes, with the vines fifty years of age in both parcels. The family also owns vines in les Pougets, which they bottle on its own. Interestingly, Vincent Rapet chooses to age this wine in only twenty percent new oak. The 2023 Corton delivers a deep and complex bouquet of red and black cherries, a touch of red currant, roasted venison, iron-infused soil tones, bonfire, fresh thyme and a nicely understated framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, young and beautifully defined by its underlying soil, with a fine core of fruit, ripe, buried tannins, good acids and fine focus and grip on the long, youthfully complex and very well balanced finish. This will be excellent in due course. 2045-2100. (May/Jun 2025)"
92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "90% Voierosses. 10% Combes, red soil on top of limestone. One third tressed vines, one third new wood, one third whole bunch. Slightly paler than some, with a floral note, this is very far from a massive Corton. The depth of flavour, in darker fruit, arrives at the back, with an attractive crunch to finish. Understated but definitely fine. (Oct 2024)"
93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Corton Grand Cru has turned out nicely, revealing aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively palate framed by chalky tannins. As usual, it will reward a little patience. Drink: 2027-2040. (Jan 2025)"
92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Les Perrières and Les Chaumes et Voierosse - the former has 50+ year old vines and the latter 30 to 35-year-old vines). A more layered, though less floral, nose combines notes of both red and blue pinot fruit, newly turned earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The caressing, suave and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess impressively volume and exuding evident minerality on the sneaky long, firm, compact and youthfully austere finale. This is potentially excellent though it's also a wine that's going to require at least moderate patience. Drink: 2035+. (Apr 2025)"
