2017 Rapet Père et Fils Corton-Pougets

Aromas of sweet red cherries, dried flowers and spices introduce the 2017 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, ample wine with a cool core of succulent fruit that largely conceals its fine, chalky tannins, concluding with a moderately long finish. While it isn't the finest Pougets that Rapet has produced, it's a very creditable effort.
