Tasting notes
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. (Drink starting 2033)

Cask sample. Rich fruit with fine acid and no shortage of tannin. Firm finish. For a Corton, quite exciting! (JR)
About the producer
Based in Pernand-Vergelesses, the Rapet family has been involved in wine since at least the 18th century. The property owns 20 hectares of vines around and on the hill of Corton. Vincent and Sylvette are at the helm today, with their son Robin now working alongside them.
