Reviewed November 2023Even at this youthful stage, the 2022 Corton Blanc packs power. I find it more minerally and dense than the typical Corton-Charlemagne, so I understand her reasoning for labeling. It’s a luxurious wine, even at this tightly wound stage. Parent’s vines are in Le Rognet et Corton section in the Ladoix-Serrigny portion of the hill of Corton, so the wine could be labeled as Corton-Charlemagne. Anne believes the character differs from classic Corton-Charlemagne so opts to label it as Corton Blanc. (MA)

Vinous
The 2022 Corton Blanc Grand Cru, which legally could be labeled as Corton-Charlemagne, is matured entirely in new French oak with no lees-stirring. There is some reduction on the nose, and the oak will need to be integrated in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with lovely balance, smooth in texture with almond, white peach and a creaminess from the oak. Very seductive, this will age with style. (NM)

Burghound
Note: from Le Rognet et Corton aged in 100% new wood. Pungent aromas are comprised of firm reduction and plenty of oak influence that is also present on the palate of the notably bigger-bodied flavors that are at once sappy and mineral-driven before culminating in a beautifully long finale. This wine is always particular in style as the wood influence is quite generous and more than I personally prefer.
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "From En Rognets et Corton. Hmm- a more savoury depth – pushed by a faint reduction. Mouth-filling – round, generous, yet with mouth-watering, more than balancing energetic flavour. The texture here is very lovely. The last notes of flavour, citric almost golden-fruited and long-lasting. Another delicious wine!" (01/2024)
