The 2010 Corton Clos du Roi is considerably darker and fleshier than the Rognets. Layers of dark red fruit, flowers, licorice and spices are woven together in this ripe, flashy Corton. Personally I prefer the energy of the Rognets, but this is very beautiful, too. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030. Winemaker David Croix describes 2010 as being similar to 2002, but with more tension. The harvest started on September 23. About two-thirds of the wines were lightly chaptalized. None of these wines had been racked at the time of my visit in November 2011. Giroud fans will note the addition of two new Volnays to the lineup. I will report on the maison’s 2009s in the April issue.

2010 年份的 Corton Clos du Roi 與 Rognets 相比，更加深厚清新。酒中圓熟華麗，帶有層次豐富的深紅水果味，含有花朵、甘草和香料的味道。我個(gè)人更喜歡 Rognets 旺盛活力，但此酒也十分動(dòng)人。預(yù)期成熟時(shí)間：2018 至 2030 年。
