Vinous (92-95)The 2015 Corton La Vigne au Saint Grand Cru exudes freshness and vivacity. Hints of orange peel, cranberry and white pepper from the whole clusters (45%) add a striking aromatic upper register. This is another wine with a super-appealing push and pull between ripeness of fruit and salivating acidity. Quite frankly, in a blind tasting, this would be very hard to peg as wine from a warm vintage. - Antonio Galloni |

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Beaune Village, which is completely de-stemmed, has a lovely bouquet with red cherries, raspberry and very light touches of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a fine bead of acidity, quite fresh and saline with dark fruit emerging towards the piquant finish. This works extremely well. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2020 Corton Grand Cru Greves has a more reserved and slightly earthier bouquet than the La Vigne Au Saint, fresh and vibrant, taut and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, good weight with a nicely proportioned finish that has impressive persistence. Lots of potential here. |
