Enjoyed the 2009 Aubert Pinot Noir UV-SL Vineyard alongside the 2010 Michel Mallard Corton Le Rognet. Aubert was double decanted back into bottle.... some very fine sediment.... really a wow wine.... haven't had one in ages. Mallard was slow-o'd in bottle for a couple of hours. Both wines paired deliciously with Creole BBQ grilled oysters, grilled octopus and charcoal grilled whole branzino.
I was focused on the Aubert until I tasted the Corton Le Rognet and was riveted to how on point it was.... a beautifully elegant showing. In reality, I've never had a pinot noir from the Hill of Corton that was ready. This was my first encounter with Le Rognet Grand Cru, and oh boy is it good stuff. My favorite of any of the Corton GC reds. Lengthy savory finish... surprisingly approachable for a 2010 ....
