A much defter application of wood is present here too but in this case the aromas of plum, black cherry, earth and a whiff of the sauvage have no trouble being appreciated. I very much like the sleek, even polished mouthfeel of the bigger, richer and more powerful broad-shouldered flavors that display excellent persistence on the palate coating, dusty and beautifully long finale where a hint of bitter cherry pit can be found. This is very firmly structured and will need at least a few years of bottle age first but in time it should be very good. Score: 91 - 93 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2031+ 15 January 2018 |

The 2016 Corton Rognet Grand Cru, which comes in with a modest 13.2% alcohol and unusually for the domaine, it was harvested after and not before the Côte de Nuits. It has a very appealing bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with wilted rose petals, the oak here seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, superb mineralité and a crystalline finish that urges you back for another sip. What and outstanding Corton Rognet. This comes highly recommended. Score: 91 - 93 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2021-2040 29 December 2017 |
