"A truly great Burgundy"
"The 2020 Corton Grand Cru Le Rognet et Corton performed very well, opening up in the glass with aromas of black berries, spices, dark chocolate, loamy earth, and vine smoke. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acidity, fine, chalky tannins, and a long, penetrating finish, this is one of the best reds from the Buisson brothers that I have tasted.” (Wine Advocate -2022)

Eye
A beautiful dress in a lovely deep red
Nose
When young, Rognet-et-Corton offers notes of spicy fruit, blackcurrant, and kirsch. As it ages, it develops aromas of forest floor, truffles, and leather.
Palate
A wine that offers real presence and beautiful intensity while retaining its finesse and elegance. It embodies everything one expects from an exceptional red Grand Cru from Burgundy: the very essence of seductive Pinot Noir. This great charmer likes to play hard to get and is best enjoyed

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family has lived in the village since the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic estate in Saint-Romain. Écocert-certified since 2012, they practice viticulture and winemaking using the most natural methods possible. The red wines, which always contain a small proportion of whole clusters, offer a precise expression of their terroir, championing the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain that we have rarely seen at this level. The precise white wines are equally impressive.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 17,5/20 (Great wine)
Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Highly expressive, with aromas of red berries and sweet spices, it offers a lovely contrast between a silky attack and a dense mid-palate. Powerful yet refined and ripe tannins lend it a long finish. An intense grand cru with depth, built to age for many years.
About the estate:
Frédéric, the winemaker, and Franck, the sales manager, run one of the largest estates in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune. Having practiced organic farming—certified since 2009—they made the transition to biodynamic farming in 2018. For the past ten years, they have been following the lunar calendar for their bottling. Their meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar allows them to produce deep, distinguished wines that age well. This is an estate that beautifully showcases the Saint-Romain appellation in both reds and whites; the wines are refined, precise, and elegant. A range of wines that fully deserves its first star.
