Ambroise's 1991 Corton-Le Rognets is less robust and forceful than his Nuits St.-Georges-Les Vaucrains or Cote de Nuits Villages. Densely colored, with a spicy, berry, vanillin-scented nose, medium to full-bodied, sweet, expansive flavors, excellent concentration, and an overall sense of elegance, this is an exceptionally well-made, impressively endowed wine for drinking between 1996-2008.
If you like unfined, unfiltered, lusty, full-bodied, muscular Pinot Noirs from the Cote de Nuits, Ambroise is your man. I discovered this producer while researching my Burgundy book and I am delighted to see how successful he has become, not only in America, but also in the Burgundy circles of Europe. Ambroise makes some of the most extracted, deeply colored wines of Burgundy, but they are not meant to be sipped while sitting pool side. These are super-endowed, tannic "vins de garde" that will repay cellaring.
