Domaine Rapet Père Et Fils' lineage can be traced back to at least 1765 thanks to a dated, silver tastevin much treasured by the family.
Rapet is one of the most ancient families of the Côte D’Or and the estate is now under the control of Vincent Rapet and his charming wife Sylvette who manage the 20 hectares with skill and a keen eye to nature. Based in the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, Domaine Rapet’s vineyards lie on and around the hill of Corton.
What the critics say:
"From the Chaumes & Voierosse vineyard, a site with lots of stones, ripens well, plus some fruit from Les Combes. A little more depth. The nose has a dark fruit to it, and a feeling more backward. They picked the old vines from the early 1960s first and the young vines later. One third new wood may also have an influence. Balanced with a sturdy structure that the level of fruit can carry. Just give this some time. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: October 2022."
"This is also cool and airy if more sauvage-inflected with its nose of earth, leather, smoke and a plenitude of floral wisps. There is both fine volume and focused power to the bigger-bodied and muscular flavors that flash fine length on the distinctly austere, tightly wound and very much built-to-age finale. Patience absolutely necessary."
