2015 Michel Mallard Corton Rognet Grand cru

In Rognet, we have a middle point in our spectrum of feminine to masculine, combining the strengths of each of the other two Corton Grand crus in the range. It is a larger scaled wine than the Maréchaudes, with even more fruit density and sap, but not quite as wild and as the Renardes. It too is a textbook example, at the very top of the qualitative heap. Reference point good….

“There is a high level of ripeness but not jamminess on the plum, cassis, violet, spice and earthy aromas. I very much like the freshness and vibrancy of the mouth coating, robust and impressively concentrated big-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the hugely long finale. This is an imposingly dense wine that is definitely going to require, and reward, extended cellaring. This too is excellent. 94/2035+” Allan Meadows
