Description
"Le Rognet" is considered one of the most powerful and profound Grand Cru sites on the Corton hill. The lime and iron-rich soils give the Pinot Noir a striking mineral tension and a monumental, yet very precise structure. Domaine Jean Fournier consciously interprets the site in a puristic and terroir-driven way – focusing on transparency, balance, and Burgundian finesse rather than mere power.
In 2023, the Grand Cru appears incredibly lively and energetic, yet deeply and calmly structured. The Pinot Noir combines juicy red and darker fruit with subtle spice, silky structure, and vibrant freshness. Despite its concentration, the wine never feels heavy or massive, but incredibly clear and elegantly defined. It is precisely this combination of Corton power and ethereal precision that makes "Le Rognet" particularly fascinating.
The aging process remains subtle and excellently integrated, ensuring that origin and vintage are uncompromisingly in the spotlight. As a result, the Corton Grand Cru exhibits a great Côte de Beaune style – profound, mineral, with a long, silky finish and exceptional aging potential.
