"The 2021 Corton Les Maréchaudes Grand Cru has a ripe nose with blackberry, raspberry coulis and light blood orange scents that are cohesive. The 70% whole bunches and two-thirds new oak are deftly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins and is delicately spiced with white pepper and thyme. This is very focused with a slightly brittle and persistent finish. Superb. (2025 – 2045)" - 92-94 Points, Vinous

"A pungent nose reflects notes of firm reduction and wood toast. Here too there is fine richness and volume to the notably more refined flavors that are at once sleek yet succulent, all wrapped in moderately austere bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. This is firm and serious and should age accordingly." - 91-93 Points, Burghound

"Aromas of cherries, blackberries, petals and sweet spices introduce the 2021 Corton Les Maréchaudes Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy wine that's lively and gourmand, its ample core of fruit framed by melting tannins and succulent acids." - 91-93 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
