Corton Clos Rognet 2013 Meo Camuzet

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (91)

The 2013 Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru has a more forest-floor influenced bouquet at the moment with “timid” red berry fruit mixed with wilted rose-petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky textured entry. The acidity here is well judged and it delivers a pleasant piquancy on the finish. No, there is not huge length here…this is more about the poise.

Once again strong reduction completely dominates the fruit. There is outstanding richness to the relatively pliant broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent verve before concluding in a lingering, focused and solidly powerful finish. I have always found the Rognets to be the sleeper grand cru among Meo's big boys as the old vines always seem to provide super density of underlying material. However in 2013 this is less concentrated than it usually is and thus my range offers the benefit of the doubt that the mid-palate will flesh out with time in bottle.
