Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points
"Immense power lies behind the initially seductive nature of this wine. It is powerful, ripe, complex, full of tropical fruits, and still at first it seems to be restraining this intensity. Give it 10 years and it will be mind-blowing."
Decanter, 93 Points
"The 2002 highlights a downside of vertical tastings. By itself, the straw-yellow 2002 is stylish and compelling. But it is overshadowed next to the 2004 and 1999, lacking the precision and elegance of the best. Still, at 18 years, it has marvelous depth and a vibrant balance of fruit and spice. Perfectly mature, yet not tired, it shows the stature of the appellation. Tasted 1/31/2021."
Wine Advocate, 91-93 Points
"Spicy stones can be discerned in the aromatics of the 2002 Corton-Charlemagne. Light to medium-bodied, fresh, and revealing impressive depth as well as concentration, it displays liquefied rock, pear, and apple flavors throughout its lengthy character. Notes of roasted herbs and minerals make their presence felt in its long, suave finish."
Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"A mix of orchard fruit and citrus marks this fresh white, whose vibrant structure keeps it focused and long. Well-balanced, with smoke and mineral notes gracing the aftertaste."
Alcohol: 14%
