Corton Grand Cru "Le Rognet"

The plot, facing east, covers 34 ares halfway up the slope between 270 and 280 meters in altitude. It consists of two-thirds of vines aged 70 years and one-third aged 35 years. Acquired in 1999, the vineyard underwent significant work to encourage the root system to rediscover the mineral depth of the soil. Located a few kilometers further south than other crus, the plot is always harvested two or three days earlier. This grand cru has a noticeably different expression compared to other cuvées of the domain situated in the Côte de Nuits. The more tender, more weathered marly limestones of the Oxfordian, which form the soil's base, add to the wine harmonious and polished tannins, along with good acidity.
