Bruno Clavelier Corton le Rognet Grand Cru 2022 (750ML)

95 VM / 94-96 JM / 92-95 BH

The 2022 Corton Le Rognet Grand Cru has a ripe and generous bouquet with dark cherries, raspberry coulis and subtle blueberry scents, hints of sous-bois and potpourri percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a dash of cracked black pepper and cloves, leading to a nicely structured, quite elegant (for a Corton) finish. Superb. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Fine concentrated pink ruby. This does have the extra weight over and above all but Combe d’Orveau, then really kicks on. Magnificent in the detail, alpine strawberry as well as raspberry, a fraction of white pepper, very complete and absolutely lovely. First picked and highest degree, but works out very well. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: November 2023.—Jasper Morris

Tasting note: This is also aromatically deeply pitched with aromas of wild dark currant, poached plum and whiffs of the sauvage. There is a gorgeous textured to the broad-shouldered and overtly powerful flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the exceptionally long if decidedly firm, compact and balanced finale. This excellent effort is very much a 'buy and forget you own it' wine. Sweet Spot. --Allen Meadows, Burghound
