Domaine Rapet Père et Fils Corton Grand Cru 2023

Domaine Rapet Père et Fils Corton Grand Cru 2023 is one of the jewels in the Rapet family's portfolio and represents some of the best that the Côte de Beaune can offer in Pinot Noir. The Corton Grand Cru vineyard is known for its unique combination of clay and limestone soils on the steep slopes of Aloxe-Corton, which produces wines with great power, structure and aging ability.

In the glass, the wine appears with an intense, deep red color, almost garnet red, which testifies to its concentration and complexity. The aroma opens with ripe cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants, which merge with floral touches of violet and rose petals. Behind the fruit, spicy and mineral undertones are perceived as well as elegant notes of forest floor, cedar and discreet touches of cocoa and pepper.

The palate is deep, powerful and silky at the same time. The dense fruit is accompanied by firm but refined tannins, which give the wine its impressive structure. The fresh acidity adds energy and balance, and the minerality from the terroir gives an almost salty precision in the finish. The aftertaste is long, persistent and complex with layers upon layers of fruit, spice and earthy nuances, which promise great development potential.

Domaine Rapet Corton Grand Cru 2023 is a wine for the patient wine connoisseur. It can be enjoyed young for its intense fruit, but will gain significantly in depth, complexity and harmony over the next 15–20 years. Perfect companion to dishes such as beef tenderloin, game, truffle-based dishes, confit de canard and aged cheeses.
