Bruno Clavelier, Corton Rognets 2010
The Corton Rognets is a relatively rare bird from Bruno Clavalier. The 2010 is showing beautifully - gorgeous fruit and a lovely deep earthy minerality.

Coche Dury Meursault 2007 is still quite backward and a bit introvert. The nose is razor sharp with a crisp minerality and a fresh youthful fruit. Surprisingly fresh with the intense citrus infused minerality. Give it five years more to … [Read more...] about J.-F. Coche Dury Meursault 2007
