A rich thoroughbred purple colour. The nose is remarkably expressive, and holds up well even after several stunning wines from the Cote de Nuits. Clean pure and precise, a dark fruit hovering between red and black berry. A little touch of coconut. A very fine expression of Corton with some delicacy. Well done. Drink from 2031-2039. 93-95 points

The 2022 Corton Les Grands Lolieres Grand Cru, which contains 60% whole bunches, has a composed, almost backward nose that demands coaxing from the glass: brown spices sprinkled over mainly black fruit with hints of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe opening. It is quite a luscious Corton, silky in terms of texture, with a slightly saccharine finish. 90-92 points

The 2022 Corton Grand Cru Les Grand Lolières continues this cuvées return, begun in 2021, to more classical proportions. Offering up aromas of cherries, dried petals, warm spices and smoke, it`s medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with an ample core of succulent fruit and a seamless, integrated profile. 92-94 points
