A small holding of ancient vines within old stone walls and near Faiveley’s Clos des Cortons. Reasonably light for a Grand Cru. A light to medium weight palate but with Medium + intensity. Spice, Plum and earthy notes. I disagree with Burghound’s assessment of being a big wine. I found it to be light. It did have silky tannins but overall somewhat disappointing. Certainly from a prestigious producer. I have had better experiences with Faiveley’s Clos des Cortons (see notes on Delectable).

Jan 12th, 2026The first of 3 red Grand Crus from Corton tasted blind. Delectable - this is the Corton Clos Rognet from Meo Camuzet. Bright Ruby in colour. Aromas of earth and cherries - vibrant and pure. Palate staining intensity. Excellent.

Jan 19th, 2019Last of this bracket of Grand Cru Red Burgundies from Corton and the biggest. Oak coming through on the nose. Palate had a Cherry skin character. All of these need to be cellared and will be better in 10 years.

Vintage 2005. Should come with a seat belt and air bag - massive wine and full throttle. Oak still a bit present for me, but not overwhelming. This can lay down for another 10 years before it's ready and last a generation. Exceptional!
