Vinous - Score: 95 (2020 August)

The 2009 Extra-Brut Corne Bautray is rich, ample and creamy, with all of the radiance of the vintage very much on display. Readers will find a potent Chardonnay with so much depth and power that it almost feels like a Pinot. Orchard fruit, dried flowers, chamomile and tropical inflections all grace this extroverted, flamboyant Champagne. The 2009 is not exactly subtle, but its dramatic beauty can't be denied. Disgorged April 2019 and bottled with no dosage.
