Meo-Camuzet Corton Grand Cru Clos Rognet 2001

The Meo-Camuzet Corton Grand Cru Clos Rognet 2001 is a distinguished and elegant Burgundy from the Grand Cru Clos Rognet vineyard on the famous Corton hill. Known for producing robust, complex wines, this particular Corton Grand Cru reflects the finesse of the 2001 vintage, which favored balance and refinement over power.

Tasting Notes: In the glass, the 2001 Clos Rognet reveals a beautiful deep garnet color with hints of brick around the edges, suggesting some maturity and evolution. The nose is expressive and nuanced, with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, intertwined with savory notes of forest floor, truffle, and dried herbs. Subtle undertones of spice, tobacco, and a hint of violet add complexity to the wine’s aromatic profile, making it both intriguing and sophisticated.

On the palate, this Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, with fine, silky tannins that have softened with age, giving it a smooth and velvety texture. The wine’s bright acidity enhances its freshness, while the flavors of red and black berries, earthy minerality, and gentle spice are beautifully integrated. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of cherry, subtle oak, and a touch of earthy depth that reflects its origin.
