Note di degustazione
Served from magnum, the Méo-Camuzet 2006 Corton Grand Cru Clos Rognet is beginning to drink very well, offering up a classic nose of red-black fruit, leafy forest floor, cocoa nib and a subtle touch of grilled game. On the palate, the wine is tense, mineral and fine-grained, more vertical and austere than the Domaine's Vosne-Romanée bottlings, more wild too—but a very compelling wine that speaks clearly of its origins.

Fascinatingly sweetly smoky and mineral suggestions of machine oil, metal shavings, and crushed stone mingle with ripe black raspberry and chocolate in the nose of Meo's 2006 Corton Clos Rognet. Like its Clos Vougeot sibling, this is rather massive at least in its youth and its tannins are quite evident, probably all the more so due to the wine's extreme sense of softness (from high pH) and faintly noticeable alcohol. But sheer richness and sweetness render this impressive in its way, and time in bottle may make for refinement and nuance. I would not plan to revisit this before 2011 and anticipate at least a decade's total useful life. Jean-Nicolas Meo harvested 2006 fruit between 13.25-14.25% potential alcohol, slightly higher than in 2005. Except for a few instances of vineyards touched by hail, he said, he vinified in essentially the same way (including the same percentages of new barrels) as he had in 2005. Meo notes that the pHs of his 2006s ended up quite high after their malos, and while this contributes to their sense of softness and generosity, I sometimes find these wines wanting for some vivacity or primary juiciness. (I have appended to the description of Meo's negociant bottlings the words "Frere et Soeur" that appear underneath "Meo-Camuzet" on their labels.)

Deep, dark red. Reserved nose offers medicinal black cherry and minerals. Powerful, tactile and penetrating, with sappy black cherry, menthol and mineral flavors that really saturate the palate. Finishes long and gripping, with building ripe tannins. Strong and serious wine. These top 2006s call for seven or eight years of patience.
(13.6% alcohol) Bright red-ruby. Deep black raspberry aroma. Broad on entry, then tactile but juicy in the middle, with very good cut and life to the medicinal black cherry, raspberry and licorice flavors. A solid, chewy wine with serious tannic structure and lovely length.
