Score 88/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar 2010
Three vintages of Domaine Faiveley’s Corton-Charlemagne were all tasty. My favorite was the 1996, which still showed quite a bit of freshness, especially compared to the 1999, a wine that seemed to be evolving rather quickly.

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2005-2010, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2002
Quite deep gold. Floral nose and slightly grainy texture (very unlike any New World Chardonnay!) Good, true impact with savoury depth but you have to go a good halfway to meet it. The opposite of facile. (JR)
