Product Information

90 points | Wine Advocate
The unassuming Vincent Rapet, whose family can trace its roots in Pernand back to 1795, is now joined by his son Robin at the helm of this historic 20-hectare domaine. There's a long track record here, and I can extol the merits of the domaine's older wines from personal experience: the 1979 is among the best mature examples of Corton-Charlemagne I've tasted. As I've written before, vinification is pretty classical, with the whites whole-cluster pressed and fermented in barrels (some 20% of which are new), including larger formats, as well as a few concrete eggs for some cuvées; Rapet believes them to give a more tensile, fresher profile to the wine. The reds, which have improved in recent years, see a brief cold soak, followed by some 15 days of maceration, maturing in around 30% new wood from carefully chosen sources, including Chassin and Taransaud.

Domaine Rapet, committed to sustainable viticulture, crafts this wine from vines grown on clay-limestone soils near a historic quarry. Grapes are carefully harvested and gently pressed, with fermentation and 12 months of aging in 20% new oak barrels. Enjoy it after a few years of cellaring, paired with roasted chicken, risotto, or a flavorful terrine.
