Burghound, January 2012

A spicy and broad-ranging nose offers up notes of plum, earth, humus, forest floor and smoked tea as well as the defining animale component of a classic Corton. This is a big boy with rich, powerful and imposingly concentrated large-scaled flavors that brim with mouth coating and tannin-buffering dry extract that terminates in an explosive and dazzlingly persistent finish. It's interesting as this juxtaposes a velvety palate feel against the muscle of a serious Corton. Drink: 2022+

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2012

The 2010 Corton Rognet is utterly beguiling from the very first taste. An exotic bouquet redolent of incense, tar, licorice and smoke melds into a core of expressive dark fruit as this powerful Burgundy opens up in the glass. The Rognets impresses for its energy and focus, both of which it has in spades. An exuberant, expressive finish has the last say in this fabulous Corton. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. --- Antonio Galloni

About Winery

Beginning in 1999, a shift in responsibilities took place Chez Taupenot Merme - with the 7th generation taking over - and a host of viticultural changes were introduced. As these improvements were implemented, the wines benefited from greater personalities ("terroir"), deeper colors, more refined perfumes, and textures rendering the wines drinkable throughout their life cycles. Guided by a desire for purity, Romain and his sister Virginie:
    Completed the conversion to organics
    Experiment with "chauffage post fermentaire" (which gently extracts "noble" tannins)
    Work with 100% destemmed fruit (ala Henri Jayer)
    Rack their wines into oak for 12-15 months  of fine lees contact
    Reduced the amount of new oak (maximum of 40% for Grand Crus)
Including their less-than-barrique-sized quantity of Clos des Lambrays, this 30 acre estate is poised to be a leading domaine of the Cote.
