2017 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru Méo-Camuzet, Burgund (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

The 2017 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, cassis, blood orange, spices and smoked meats. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and tangy, with fine but firm structuring tannins, impressive tension at the core and a long, nicely defined finish. This was also a bit introverted after its recent racking but it shows plenty of promise. - Dr. William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

A moderately oaked nose is comprised by an exuberantly spicy array of plum, cassis, earth and evident sauvage nuances. The impressively rich and seductively textured broad-shouldered flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract, all wrapped in a balanced, long and highly complex finish. I very much like the way this fans out on the strikingly persistent finish. In short, this is outstanding. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

Vinous - 2017 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

The 2017 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru has a slightly more backward nose than the Corton-Perrières at the moment and requires more coaxing from the glass, eventually revealing pure black cherry, raspberry preserve and subtle minty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and a tad more reduced than the Corton-Perrières, quite rounded in the mouth, with a savory, almost gamy finish. I am intrigued to see how this will show once in bottle. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
