2018 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru Méo-Camuzet

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

The 2018 Corton Grand Cru Clos Rognet is built for the long haul but evidently possesses considerable potential. Mingling aromas of cassis and cherries with notes of bitter rose, spices and truffles, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and introverted, with fine but chalky tannins and lively acids. Méo's two bottlings from the hill of Corton are arguably his most underrated wines, and readers with the patience to forget them for 15 or so years should give them serious consideration. - William Kelley, Jan. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2018 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru, Méo-Camuzet

A slightly fresher and spicier nose blends nose of plum, cassis, earth and plenty of pretty floral nuances. The opulent yet powerful and focused full-bodied flavors flash evident muscle on the serious, very long and balanced finale as the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is very Corton in character and should age accordingly. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020
