The Corton Rognets is a relatively rare bird from Bruno Clavalier. The 2010 is showing beautifully - gorgeous fruit and a lovely deep earthy minerality. Not a big and dense Corton but intense, fruity and refined - notes of blue berries, raspberries with a floral hint. On the palate intense and vivid …
Very Fine (93 - 94)
