The 2020 Corton Grand Cru is well-defined and focused on the nose, with a mélange of red and black fruit. Cedar and tobacco hints emerge with time. It has a soft, rounded entry with lower acidity, quite plush for a Corton, but it doesn't have the structure and precision of the best wines in this flight. Corpulent finish. Drink this over the next 15 years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)

The 2019 Corton Grand Cru has a rather conservative and earthy bouquet, but is well-defined with slightly darker fruit than its peers. Faint touches of fresh tobacco emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and a fine thread of acidity, but is a little stocky, as you might expect of a Corton. There’s a slight abruptness on the finish, but time should shave its corners. Give it another couple of years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2023)

1979, This 1979 Grand Cru is 36 years hold, and showing beautifully what an aged burgundy can deliver, ruby - orang color, nose of of dry tea leaves, coffee, leather, soil, metal and minerals and a hint of black and red fruits, medium to full body, balanced, smooth, elegant and tempting. At its peak, and given bottle variety I won't wait more. My score 89, drink up.
