Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Domaine Rapet 2019

A majestic white Burgundy from one of the region’s most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards. The bouquet is layered with citrus, pear and white peach, lifted by notes of almond, brioche and subtle spice. The palate is powerful yet precise, combining ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a long, textured finish. Careful oak ageing adds richness and complexity, giving the wine both depth and exceptional ageing potential.

Domaine Rapet, with family roots in Burgundy dating back to the 18th century, is renowned for producing wines that reflect the finesse and grandeur of Corton’s terroirs. Their Corton-Charlemagne captures the vineyard’s unique ability to deliver both richness and minerality, making it a benchmark example of this legendary appellation.

"If you want the technobabble, the vines here are now ‘tressed’ rather than hedged and vinification takes place in a couple of cement eggs as well as barrel. The vines are mostly in En Charlemagne with a small part in Le Charlemagne. Attractive lemon and lime colour, lovely stylish and very classic bouquet. Terrific tension behind, no feeling of heat, a crystalline minerality and exceptional persistence. Very fine indeed." - 96 Pts, Jasper Morris MW
