Dupont Tisserandot, Corton Rognet other_regions_italy detailed and vibrant medium weight(from a . 32 ha parcel). Moderate wood stops just short of fighting with the spicy and earthy aromas of black fruit, leather and game scents.

This is a big but balanced effort that should reward mid to longer term cellaring.
