James Suckling (96)This has quite pronounced vanilla oak, but has only just been bottled. As it aerates, notes of ripe pear, citrus and pineapple develop. Rich and creamy, this makes a bold statement, but also has lovely freshness that complements the generous body. Keeps pumping out the flavors for a long time at the finish. |

Scoring a massive 95-98 points from locally-based critic Jasper Morris MW from Inside Burgundy, he also gives it a rare and coveted 5 star status.
More Info
A Grand Cru receiving 5 star status is a truly special occasion and there is no doubt that this is a “majestic Corton-Charlemagne in the making”. A truly stunning Chardonnay, it is the highest scoring wine from Corton in 2020, even topping greats like Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey and Henri Boillot. The well-defined, tightly-packed bouquet has “considerable concentration” but will need many years before it shows its full glory. There is a “really impressive wealth of fruit here” and although it is dominating the main characteristics of the terroir currently, this will settle and there is “so much still to come” shown by the “really very long” finish. |

A very typical fresh stony palate, lightly washed in citrus, with enough flesh to provide the body necessary for ageing, and a fine, long, persistently mineral finish. Drink from 2027-2035.

Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a complex bouquet with citrus fruit, light peppermint notes and hints of honeysuckle and brioche. The palate is well balanced with a satisfying, slightly honeyed texture counterbalanced by the keen line of acidity. This is very harmonious and very poised, with a dash of spice toward the finish. Excellent. |

Vinous (90-92)(as Bouchard lost 90% of their fruit in En Orveaux, this year's wine was made almost entirely from purchased fruit from vines worked by the Bouchard team, located below the premier cru Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges): Good red-ruby color. Sexy, inviting scents of candied dark berries, raspberry, mocha and licorice. Then fat, plush and fine-grained but not as sweet as the nose suggests; there's even something a bit roasted here. Finishes with decent acidity and solid structure but comes across as rather disjointed today and hard to assess. Winemaker Weber says he may have used too high a percentage of whole clusters and gotten too much stem tannins as a result. (Incidentally, in 2017 Bouchard will have two different bottlings of Echézeaux, one domain and one négoce.) |

j (98)Wow. A stunning combination of perfectly ripe fruit with strawberries and plums that turn to dried flowers and spices. Some decadent notes. Full-bodied, yet so tight and formed with fruit and tannins that intertwine and spread across the palate. This represents the definition of controlled plushness. Drink in 2024 and onwards. |

Vinous (90-93)Good deep red. Sexy aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, spices, coffee and animal fur. Sweet, juicy and concentrated, with good medicinal reserve to the purple fruit, spice and stony flavors. A ripe, broad wine that spreads out nicely on the back end, which features dusty, fine tannins. |

Vinous (91)A dark, rich wine, the 1985 La Romanée opens with a rich, soy-infused mélange of aromas and flavors to match its demi-glace-like richness. Brown spices, licorice and worn-in leather add further shades of nuance. The 1985 is fully mature and exquisite, especially in the way layer after layer unfolds in the glass. This is a very beautiful, mature Burgundy that has reached its peak. |

Vinous (94-97)Deep ruby-red. Superripe yet almost magically vibrant aromas of black fruits, chocolate liqueur and mint. Hugely concentrated, powerful and thick, with fruit of steel and great class. Finishes with uncanny breadth of tannins and persistence. An obvious knockout. Like the top grand crus from Bouchard, this will benefit from six to eight years of cellaring. |

Vinous (93)Medium red, a bit pale at the rim. Soil-inflected aromas of red fruits, potpourri spices, minerals, flowers and truffle. Plush, rich and fine-grained, showing terrific volume and breadth and a restrained sweetness to the flavors of red fruits, smoke and earth. This seamless, stylish wine boasts strong soil tones and an inviting, very smooth finish. A beauty--and perhaps deceptively accessible today. |

Jancis Robinson (17)Cask sample. Mid garnet. Pale shaded rim. Intense nose with some sweet-and-salty character. It's not especially weighty but the nose is definitely more intense than that of the premiers crus. Edgy red-fruit and tamarind character. A bold wine. Long with quite a dry finish at this point. |

Tim Atkin MW (94)These vines sit at 270 meters and more or less right on the limestone slab of the old quarry. Dried cranberries and pomegranate seeds offer tingly fruit vibrancy that gives the fruit a lofty, airy quality. The tannins tenderly nudge at the sides of the palate and fade gently on the lingering finish. 2023-30 |
