This is a nice Chateauneuf

Silky and seamless on the palate

Super-long finish in which the mineral and licorice characters are beautifully interwoven

Classy and powerful

Domaine Michel Mallard, Corton Rognet other_regions This is a nice ChateauneufOnce again there is enough wood present to comment on framing the ripe and layered aromas of black raspberry coulis, poached plum and warm earth wisps.

This built to age effort is decidedly muscular but not massive and a wine that should also amply repay extended cellaring.
