96 Allen Meadows - Burghound

"(100% from Aloxe fruit). Here too there are residual sulfur notes that are only background nuances to the otherwise very fresh and dense green fruit and stone aromas that introduce intensely mineral-driven, firm, rich and enveloping flavors that display a taut muscularity on the strikingly powerful, focused and bone dry finish that is really quite explosive. Like the Montrachet, this should reward at least a decade of long-term cellaring. A brilliant example of the appellation."

96 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

"High-pitched aromas of fresh peach, crushed stone, violet and lavender. Dense, sweet and rich, with very ripe pineapple fruit leavened by smoky minerality and given cut and focus by strong (4.5 g/l) acidity. Offers an uncanny combination of depth and high pitch for the vintage. The building, extremely long finish titillates the taste buds and leaves the mouth vibrating. Normally harvested on the late side, these vines were picked on September 5(!) in 2009, with potential alcohol of 12.9%."

95 Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2009 Corton-Charlemagne is the first grand cru in this vintage that is truly breathtaking. It shows off fabulous detail and nuance, with a crystalline expression of fruit, expressive floral notes and tons of minerality. The aroms and flavors flow effortlessly to a precise, chiseled finish that is stunning. This is a dazzling effort from Henri Boillot, and should not be missed. Anticipated maturity: 2015+."
