Originally founded in the late 18th century, Domaine Bruno Clavelier is a legendary producer based in the commune of Vosne-Romanée. Corton Le Rognet is the domaine’s only grand cru, a wine made from a 0.3-hectare parcel in the 14-hectare east-facing vineyard. It is a medium-bodied wine, with notes of red fruits and sweet, well-integrated tannins, leading to a floral aftertaste.

Vinous
Blueberry and a hint of stewed raspberry on the nose. Fat, full, sweet and powerful but a bit warm, with its substantial baby fat currently blocking the wine's expression of terroir. The raspberry and underbrush flavors are a bit roasted and undifferentiated. Finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins. This is 13.5% alcohol with a reasonable pH of 3.35, according to Clavelier, but still strikes me as a bit extreme, with less tension than the other 2012s I tasted at this address.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2015
