  • Goedhuis, December 2017

    On the Ladoix side of the Corton hill. With an aroma of brooding bramble fruit, this balances sweetness and ripeness with a core of tannins. Less mineral than the Perrières, but full and rich in texture, it has enormous appeal.

  • Neal Martin, December 2017, Score: 89-91

    The 2016 Corton Rognet Grand Cru was quite feisty and rich on the nose, perhaps missing the same composure as the Corton-Perrières: hints of date infusing the red cherry and kirsch aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet tannin, plump ripe red fruit with good volume, slightly less tension than I would like. This was apparently harvested a little earlier than others, although I might have even have got the vendangeurs out a day earlier? This is one cru where I harbor much fonder memories of the 2015. Drink 2020-2030

  • Burghound, January 2018, Score: 92-94

    A slightly riper and definitely spicier nose offers up notes of essence of plum, violet and freshly turned earth. The rich, full-bodied and solidly powerful imposingly-scaled flavors once again brim with dry extract as the old vines are very much in evidence, all wrapped in a strikingly persistent finish. This is a relatively rare Corton that is clearly built for the long-term yet the richness and sap are such that this should also be approachable after only 5-ish years or so. Drink: 2031+

  • Stephen Tanzer, January 2018, Score: 92-95

    Bright ruby-red. A fruit bomb on the nose, offering almost liqueur-like scents of black cherry and dark raspberry but with considerably more energy than the Perrières. Then less sweet on the palate than the nose would suggest, displaying seriously dense, plush dark fruit flavors supported by plush tannins. Finishes with terrific length and surprising energy. Méo noted that he picked this fruit early enough (September 24) to retain verve. These vines on the Ladoix-Serrigny side of the Corton hill avoided the frost in 2016.

  • Decanter, January 2018, Score: 93

    Méo’s old vines in Corton-Rognet produce what is probably his most consistently underrated wine, and one which evolves beautifully in the cellar. Aromas of coniferous forest floor, plums and grilled meat precede a generous, ample wine with a fleshy core of fruit, a fine chassis of chalky tannins and superb energy through the long, lingering finish.

Producer

Domaine Méo-Camuzet

When Jean-Nicolas Méo arrived in 1989 he had very big shoes to fill. Henri Jayer, arguably Burgundy’s preeminent vigneron, had managed the domaine for the previous four decades under a share-cropping agreement with the Méo family. Since then Jean-Nicolas has more than met the challenge. Following meticulous viticultural and winemaking practices he creates wonderful wines with fine levels of concentration, and today, almost three decades since his ascension, it ranks in the upper echelons of the Burgundy firmament. The majority of wines are red, ranging from Bougogne Rouge up to their ultra-famous Cros Parantoux and outstanding Richebourg. But Jean-Nicolas also makes a miniscule production of white wine. He began planting the Chardonnay for his Clos St. Philibert on steep slopes overlooking Nuit St. Georges over 25 years ago from carefully selected Chardonnay clones. Domaine Méo-Camuzet has expanded its line of 'vins de négoce' in recent years. These wines are bottled under the 'Méo-Camuzet Frères et Soeurs' label.

Region

Corton

The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
