Domaine Y.Clerget - Corton Grand Cru - Le Rognet - Red - 2021

Wine:

Corton Grand Cru Le Rognet Red 2021 lives up to its reputation with a wonderful aroma of black fruits, floral notes, accompanied by fresh and silky tannins, and a subtle touch of oak. We loved this noble material where oak never dominates; it's incredibly delicious and stands out from the often austere character of this appellation. Partial whole bunch fermentation and restrained aging play a significant role, preserving the wine's grace and fruit. Already very good, it will become even greater in a few years!

Vinification:

Hand-harvested. Aging for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels.

Color:

Intense ruby red.

Nose:

A subtle infusion of red and black fruits underlined by fine spices.

Palate:

Dès l'attaque, nous apprécions ce jus fin et équilibré délivrant des tanins soyeux et une persistance remarquable.

Temperature:

To be served between 14 and 16°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Red meats, beef cheek in Pinot Noir, pigeon, game birds, veal loin with lingonberries, sweetbreads with a simple black truffle sauce.

Cellar aging:

From today until 2037 and beyond for enthusiasts.
