Amazingly, this yielded over 25 hl/ha. The Corton has just finished its malolactic so has not been sulphured since a small addition at the harvest. A deep rusby purple. Dense in fruit as well, though not too confused by the malolactic on the nose. A touch of gas and some green apple on the palate. Not so easy to taste now, of course, but appears to have all that is needed to make a very good Corton, with fine persistence. 91-93 Points

Originating from a sunny, high-maturity site planted in 1968 in the northern reaches of the appellation and yielding 22 hectoliters per hectare this year—hardly derisory when set against the six hectoliters per hectare in Felettig’s Échezeaux—the 2024 Corton Grand Cru Les Grandes Lolières stands out as a success in the context of the vintage. It delivers aromas of cherry, orange peel, rose petal and hard candy, mingled with sweet spice, followed by a medium- to full-bodied palate that is vibrant and racy, built around a sweet core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acidity, leading to a long, perfumed finish. Structurally, it is a wine that will require more patience than others in this year’s portfolio and should benefit from additional élevage. 91-94 Points
