Peter Maude Fine Wines
2023, Domaine Pierre Guillemot, CORTON, Grand Cru, 'Le Rognet et Corton'
Aromas of dark cherries, berries, liquorice and spices introduce the 2023 Corton Le Rognet et Corton Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered wine that's the most concentrated, structured red in the range this year.
93+ William Kelley.
A mid crimson purple. The nose is notably more backward. A crunchy mineral note to finish. After a more sombre mouthful of fruit, a wine which could blossom to a higher level much later. Drink from 2031-2037.
*** 91-94 Jasper Morris MW.
A more vertical nose today. This is a big wine with reserves of flavour and the only wine with some creamy oak that’s visible in the finish – but I must say – delicious. Only very faintly tannic and not a bit drying.
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report.
Deep ruby with clear rim. Restrained spicy raspberry vanilla red fruit nose. Round juicy red fruit on attack. Tannic mid-palate. Will need 10+ years .
