A powerful and age worthy Grand Cru from the Hill of Corton. This 100 percent Pinot Noir from the Le Rognet climat shows deep crimson color and aromas of black cherry, violet, and wild berries that evolve with time toward forest floor, leather, pepper, and licorice. The palate is dense and structured with firm tannins and a long savory finish. Built to age 15 to 20 years.
