2022 Domaine Rapet Pere et Fils, Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc, 1er Cru Sous Fretille - Magnum

Domaine Rapet Père et Fils is a historic estate based in Pernand-Vergelesses that has been in the family since 1765 and is currently managed by Vincent Rapet and his son, Robin. This Premier Cru wine is made from Chardonnay grown on high-altitude, stony limestone marl soils that share a geological proximity to the prestigious Corton-Charlemagne hill. In the glass, it reveals a focused profile of crisp orchard fruit and white flowers, underpinned by a distinct, chalky minerality and a persistent, satiny texture. The 2022 vintage provided a balanced growing season, resulting in a wine with notable tension, energy, and a clean, fresh finish. This magnum is built for the cellar yet offers enough immediate clarity to be enjoyed now, serving as a reliable and high-value expression of its unique terroir.
