2002 Meo-Camuzet Corton Grand Cru 'Clos Rognet'


Source: Zachys

Consumption Date: 5/26/2012

Notes: Intense aroma of peppery fruit and chocolate.  Elegant, finely structured body with more chocolate and ripe cherry fruit.  Moderate to long finish with more chocolate, cherry fruit, and spice.  Mild tannin.

This wine showed yet another side of what Pinot Noir can produce in Burgundy.  Intense and elegant, but somewhat simple (multi-dimensional, but without complexity).  Although rated as classic by Wine Spectator, this wine fell short of what I consider to be classic Burgundy.  This wine also left me wondering if it would have developed more complexity and, therefore, been more enjoyable with another 5 to 10 years of age on it.  Overall, an interesting variation of Burgundy, but not especially to my taste.  Disappointing value.
