Description

This fruit is organic and biodynamic. The vines were planted in the early 1970s. The rows run from the top to the bottom of the steep slope, offering the complete palette. Carel uses only whole bunches, such is the quality of the fruit. This is a wine of lifted finesse and elegance, built upon a firm, limestone foundation. Drink 2030-2045.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 92-94/100
The 2020 Corton Le Rognets Grand Cru has a clean, precise and very pure bouquet that opens up beautifully in the glass - the most floral of Camille Giroud’s Cortons. The palate is smooth and sensual, quite plush and precocious with veins of blue fruit towards the finish. Similar to the Clos du Roi stylistically, but this has more complexity and panache.Drink 2025-2048Neil Martin, Vinous.com (Oct 2021)

One single barrel. Powerful deep purple. A very solid if super-ripe bouquet, liqueur raspberry and sun-dried cherry, sweetly ripe texture, lower acidity, a useful point of tannin, but could perhaps have been picked a little earlier. Yet will give a lot of pleasure to those who want the riper style because there is no sense of excess alcohol.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (January 2022)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
