2020 Domaine Pierre Guillemot 'Le Rognet et Corton' Grand Cru Rouge Corton

Winemaker's Notes: In the 1930s, Le Rognet et Corton was the first climat granted grand cru status on the Ladoix side of Corton’s slopes—no small feat, since the vignerons on the other side of the landmark hill in Aloxe were staunchly opposed to this upgrade. Sprouting from iron-rich red clay soils, and bathed in sunlight, Le Rognet et Corton is now considered one of the best sites in the village. One taste of Guillemot’s bottling would embarrass any aloxois who made a stink. —Jane Berg

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Notes of cherries raspberries licorice rose petals and loamy soil introduce the 2020 Corton Le Rognet et Corton Grand Cru a medium to full-bodied deep and concentrated wine that's layered and velvety framed by lively acids and rich powdery tannins concluding with a long nicely defined finish. Range: 92-94."
