Jasper Morris: 95-97 Points
Pale in colour and though there is a light veneer of oak this has a classical white fruit. There is tremendous energy starting in the middle of the palate and developing very well through to an exciting stone laden finish. This should be a brilliant example. By Jasper Morris
Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is located in the "Pougets" lieu-dit towards the top of the south/southeast facing part of the hill on red clay soils. The nose more refined than its peers offers lemon verbena mixed with chai tea and almonds. The palate is well-balanced with gentle grip and quite sapid in the mouth. It?s not a Corton-Charlemagne with huge matières but it delivers in terms of tension and freshness on the finish. Excellent. (Drink between 2026 - 2045) By Neal Martin
Decanter: 94 Points
Despite its massive size and concentration the Corton-Charlemagne from Domaine de Montille retains great elegance and finesse. There are ripe apple and quince aromas with hints of fresh white flowers spice and cream. The texture is dense and rich but the wine stays this side of heavy. We tasted a representative blend of several barrels; the grapes are slowly pressed and fermented with nearly all their lees in cask (35% new) to produce this intense white from the Corton Pougets lieu-dit.

Burghound: 93-95 Points
Here too there is moderate oak influence surrounding the aromas of poached pear white flowers crushed fennel and a lovely spicy quality. There is outstanding volume and density to the markedly powerful mineral-driven flavors that deliver excellent persistence on the youthfully austere finale. Pougets generally gives a relatively elegant CC but this version is muscular and while not exactly robust it isn't especially refined. Even so I very much like this and in particular for its evident development potential. (Drink starting 2034) By Allen Meadows
Jancis Robinson: 17.5+ Points
Deep and impenetrable on the nose. Lots of power and concentration. Floral and spice notes on the nose. Concentrated. Powerful weighty long-living grand cru. Needs a lot of time to really show its best. (AWH) (Drink between 2026 - 2032). By Andy Howard MW
