Tasting Notes
95 points, Neal Martin (Vinous) This plot, nestled at 270 meters on the hill of Corton, faces the rising sun.The 70-year-old vines take root in poor calcareous soil, with light and very draining soil.This climate and its demanding terroir pushes the plant to its limits and encourages it to give the best of itself: a wine that offers a real presence, a beautiful intensity while retaining its finesse and elegance. When young, Rognet-et-Corton exudes notes of spicy fruit, blackcurrant and kirsch. As it ages, it develops aromas of undergrowth, truffles and leather. It is what is expected of the excellence of a red Burgundy Grand Cru: the velvety texture of the seductive Pinot Noir. This great charmer likes to be desired and is best enjoyed between 4 and 15 years.
