Dupont-Tisserandot Corton-Rognet Grand Cru 2006

Would you believe this is my first bottle of wine in 2 months? Hmmmm, I thought not. Well many bottles have passed under the bridge of vineosity – perhaps I should do a quick summary. Anyhoo, this was one of the better ones. A bright nose, lifted but without any volatility; lively dark fruits with some earth and a touch of wood spice. The palate is youthful, bright fruits with good concentration, cherries and some cranberries, and just a touch of sap. With time, it became a bit fickle, morphing between young fruitiness and a lightly tannic persona. Eventually showed some minerally dryness on the finish. Regardless, maintained its tidy corners over 4 hours. RRP around $175 I think. Lots of value here for a red Burgundy – yeah I know Burgundy is over-priced, but don’t come complaining to me! Best between 2014 and 2021 I think, but is okay now if you’re impatient. Sealed under cork. Ballpark is 91-93 points.
