Champy : Corton Grand cru "Le Rognet" 2022

Dark cherry, raspberry, and sweet oak spice meld into a high-toned, slightly reductive nose. The palate leans earthy, with forest floor, clove, and freshly pressed dark berries wrapped in subtle oak. Structured and balanced, it carries all the elements to evolve into something beautiful. Best after 2030.

Here's proof that the dark side of the Burgundian force, Corton grand cru, can be an extremely sensual wine. It’s packed with elderberry fruit and autumn leaves plus a tremendously refined stony minerality. Stacks of fine meaty and rooty nuances at the extremely long, velvety finish, the substantial fine tannins building to a stunning crescendo. From a one-third hectare plot. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
