The Corton Clos Rognet Grand Cru 1996 from Méo-Camuzet is a majestic Burgundy that combines the powerful personality of the Corton terroir with the elegance and precision of Méo-Camuzet. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red color with initial brick-red reflections, indicating its maturity. The nose is intense and complex, with aromas of dark berries such as blackberries and black cherries, accompanied by earthy notes, dried herbs, truffles, and a hint of leather. Subtle hints of spices and toasted wood add depth and refinement.

On the palate, the wine reveals itself as powerful and structured, with robust yet supple tannins that are beautifully integrated. The fruit is concentrated and ripe, underpinned by a lively acidity that lends the wine freshness and longevity. Notes of minerality and a hint of smoke add further dimension. The finish is long, powerful, and characterized by spicy and earthy nuances typical of Corton.

The 1996 vintage brings the wine an excellent balance between acidity and structure, making it a prime example of a Burgundy with ageing potential. After nearly three decades, this Grand Cru now displays beautiful maturity, yet remains vibrant and complex, ideal for discerning lovers of aged Burgundy.
