Note di degustazione
The 2009 Corton Rognets bursts from the glass with considerable muscle and sheer power. Iron, smoke and licorice add complexity to the expressive dark fruit. I especially like the sense of drive. The balance of fruit, structure and minerality is superb in this invigorating Burgundy. Sweet floral notes round out the rich, generous finish. This is a very strong showing from Taupenot-Merme. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. This is a very strong set of wines from Romain Taupenot. The 2009s are quite marked by the year. Today my preference is for the 2010s because the cooler year balanced some of the more overt, fruit-forward leanings that define the house style. Tasting all of the 2009s and 2010s together really brought the qualities of these two very different vintages into focus. Importers: Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.

They started to make Corton in 2005, just north of Bressandes. This can suffer drought in summer but July rain helped – although it suffered a bit of water stress. Has been racked. Quite dark crimson. Very light and a little soft. A bit too chewy on the palate. Bit too tough for me. (JR)
