Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-91)Real powerful black purple. Brutally concentrated nose. Much firmer tannins, black fruit, a little less acidity, built more around the tannic structure. Powerful stuff but not unbalanced. Tasted: October 2021 |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-92)The first to be picked, which is unusual. A mid crimson colour with some dark raspberry and plum fruit, showing a bit more than the Chapitre. A succulent rich raspberry fruit on the palate., some tannins but nicely interwoven. The two Aloxe 1ers Crus seem to have traded places this year, and for once I have a clear preference for the Vercots. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted: October 2023. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2022 Aloxe-Corton Village was partially affected by hail and is the only cuvée to include whole bunches, which works well on the nose and has more freshness than the Pernand-Vergelesses Les Fichets. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry and raspberry fruit, fine tannins, and good tension on the finish. Delightful. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-90)A blend of Boulmeau and La Toppe Martenot, east and south facing respectively. A dense central crimson purple. An opulent cherry fruit on the nose. Fully ripe fruit on the palate but even and quite generous, with adequate acidity and the tannins are not aggressive, quite persistent. Drink from 2028-2030. Tasted Oct 2024. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)Derived from lieu-dit Charlemagne, the 2019 Corton Grand Cru reveals aromas of sweet red berries, woodsmoke, raw cocoa and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and fine-boned, it's pure and precise, with a more ethereal profile than the richer, more soil-driven Aloxe-Corton premiers crus that preceded it. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2022 Corton Grand Cru comes from a parcel within the lieu-dit of Le Charlemagne. It has quite a serious bouquet, tightly wound. This will need time to open but is extremely well-defined with a sense of Pinot classicism. It doesn't sing 'n dance. The palate is well-balanced, the 25% new oak seamlessly integrated, building discretely towards the beautifully poised finish. This Corton might be easily overlooked, but for me, it epitomizes how far this Grand Cru has improved in recent years. Wonderful. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)Their Corton is never the highest in alcohol, so below 14% this year. Dark crimson in colour with sunshine on the cherry fruit. Much more energy on the palate, a good natural acidity, and fine persistence. Not a flamboyant style of Corton, but good. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024. |

Burghound (91-94)A similar if slightly more complex nose leads to rich, suave and velvety broad-shouldered flavors that are generous as well as seductively textured, all wrapped in a beautifully persistent finish that possesses an abundance of tannin-buffering sap. This is also a very powerful and altogether serious Corton that should age extremely well. Impressive cellar potential. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)Aromas of cherries, raspberries, warm spices and loamy soil introduce the 2019 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine that's enveloping and gourmand, structured around ripe tannins and succulent acids. Like the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, this is sourced from the Poisot family. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-91)From Le Charlemagne. Rich dense purple with quite a powerful weight of fruit but verging on the cooked plums. Good oak, quite suave, not at all ugly at the finish, but a riper style of fruit than the ideal. Tasted: October 2021 |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91-93)The 2023 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a superior bouquet to the Corton Grand Cru. It has more touches of red fruit, sous-bois and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and fine structure. It's a little peppery toward the finish but there is more freshness and brightness here. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru Rouge was cropped at 30hl/hl. With brambly red fruit, cranberry, raspberry, orange pith and a dab of white pepper, this is quite delightful. The palate is medium-bodied with black pepper filtering through the red fruit, attenuating slightly, though I admire the tension here. Very fine. |

Wine Advocate (94)The Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2011 from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a gem. Here we have a killer limestone, stony bouquet that is stoic but utterly captivating, more like a Montrachet in my opinion. The palate is struck through with superb tension and grace, delicate touches of citrus peel, finely poised with an intense and penetrating finish. What a fabulous Bâtard-Montrachet this is from one of Chassagne top-notch growers. |

Vinous (94)The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a rather terse bouquet, more saline than the Criots, touches of oyster shell coming through with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with more weight and density than the Criots, grippy and saline with a long spicy aftertaste. This is excellent - but serious and warranting cellaring for three or four years. |

The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, taut and fresh with a saline finish that has a lovely edginess. With great persistent and poise, this is a very impressive Bâtard-Montrachet. |

The palate is well balanced with edgy citrus fruit, moderate depth, structured and grippy with a potent saline finish. Very noble. |
