Domaine Bruno Clavelier, Corton Le Rognet Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2022

Fine concentrated pink ruby. This does have the extra weight over and above all but Combe d’Orveau, then really kicks on. Magnificent in the detail, alpine strawberry as well as raspberry, a fraction of white pepper, very complete and absolutely lovely. First picked and highest degree, but works out very well. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2023. - Jasper Morris

• Bruno Clavelier founded his eponymous estate in 1988, and in doing so was the first of the family to bottle his own wines.
• Clavelier's parents and grandparents were pioneers in organic farming and chemicals or potassium fertilizers have never been used. He now farms biodynamically, with certification achieved in 2005.
• The vines here are mostly very old, planted in the 1930s and 1940s, and produce naturally low yields.
• Vinification is with minimal intervention, including natural yeasts and minimal SO2 additions.
• These are wines that speak of classic Burgundy and are some of the best in their appellations.
