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:
"A touch of reduction knocks down the underlying fruit somewhat though wisps of earth and herbal tea escape the funk. More interesting are the racy and highly energetic middleweight flavors that brim with minerality on the moderately firm and delicious if slightly lean finish. I suspect that this may well flesh out if given a few years and my rating assumes that it will."
"Mostly old vines from the 1960s. Similar pale crimson colour. Only a little more bouquet. A little more fruit starts to push out behind. Plenty of energy here, pleasing red fruit with some weight. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: October 2022."
