2023 Domaine Rapet Pere et Fils, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Blanc

Domaine Rapet Père et Fils is a historic family estate based in Pernand-Vergelesses that has been producing wine since 1765. The grapes for this wine are Chardonnay, grown on the steep, limestone-rich slopes of the Corton hill. In the glass, it reveals notes of peach, pear, and hazelnut, defined by a full-bodied, satiny texture and a persistent mineral finish. The 2023 vintage provided a harmonious balance of concentration and acidity, marking a notable step up in volume and structural complexity for the domaine. This is a wine built for the cellar, with the potential to evolve and develop further over the next decade or more.
