Clavelier Corton-Rognet Grand Cru 2019

93-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: “Grown on Oxfordian limestone with little marine fossils, just above Corton-Vergennes. 2 new barrels out of five. Bright crimson purple of medium intensity, sweet roses and fresh red fruit, this starts quite forward but develops well, not too much acidity but very fine length and very seductive. Bruno’s father thought that classic Corton needs a minimum of 12 years, but this might start to show before then. (Nov 2020)”

92-95 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): “Here too there is a whiff of herbal tea sitting atop the cool essence of various wild red berries and newly turned earth scents. There is first-rate richness and volume to the big-bodied and tautly muscular flavors that also conclude in an overtly austere finish that offers dramatically good persistence. This too is quite firmly structured and like any Corton worthy of the name, it’s built for extended cellaring. Drink: 2036+. (Jan 2021)”
