At the beginning of the 2000s, the Rollins acquired a tiny parcel of very old vines in this sumptuously situated full-south-facing premier cru that abuts Corton-Charlemagne itself. The resulting wine exudes energy, with enveloping mineral and spice aromas giving way to a palate of thrilling intensity. The overall impression of Sous Fretille is sleeker than that of Les Cloux above, but there is no less power in reserve here, and its intricate, multilayered personality hints at its close proximity to grand cru territory. New oak is kept at around 30%.
