Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Domaine Rapet 2019

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Domaine Rapet 2019 reveals the flinty terroir, due to the geological composition of the soil. This is full bodied with a beautiful golden glow. The palate reveals an aromatic richness of honey and toasted almonds with an exquisite mineral touch on the finish.

"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
