95 / 100"Mid to deep crimson. Cooked strawberries on the nose. Not really cooked, crushed and peppery really. 50% whole bunches can be seen as well as the limestone aspect of the top of the hill. Almost floral, aiming at a more elegant style rather than a massive one, given the situation. But a very long finish. I was also shown an amphora version of the Corton which had a mid-crimson colour, with a dark raspberry and crushed strawberry nose. Like the Clos de la Mousse, the amphora version comes across as a bit gravelly, the tannins a little more pronounced. Scored for the main version. Drink from 2030-2038. - 92-95 Points."

"(from a massive 7 ha holding that is divided roughly 50/50 between pinot and chardonnay; the 7 ha represents and 60% of the total surface area). The natural coolness of the vineyard is in evidnece becasue while the nose is ripe, its cool and also brooding with its overtly floral aromas of black raspberry, the sauvage and newly turned earth. There is excellent underlying tension to the rich, powerful and muscular flavors that also exude a bead of minerality on the youthfully austere, tightly wound and persistent bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. A Corton of (relative) elegance. 91-94 Points - Allen Meadows"
