Wine Spectator: 95 Points

Fresh and fruity with aromas and flavors of lemon pear white flowers and stone showing great tension and an underlying mineral component that gives this energy and length. The lemon theme continues on the lingering aftertaste along with butter and pastry accents. Best from 2022 through 2029. 2702 cases made 1200 cases imported. ? BS

Burghound: 91-93 Points

Here the beautifully layered nose is at once riper and more complex but also more restrained with its reasonably fresh aromas of apple spear spice herbal tea and soft oak wisps. There is outstanding volume to the equally ripe and powerful flavors that exhibit a lovely underlying tension on the impressively persistent and attractively stony finish where the only nit is hint of warmth. (Drink starting 2026)

Wine Advocate: 90 Points

Aromas of pear orange oil white flowers and toasted bread introduce the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru a full-bodied ample and round wine that's open-knit and gourmand. Demonstrative and giving it's already accessible.
