Domaine Rapet Père Et Fils Corton Grand Cru 2017

Domaine Rapet Pere Et Fils Corton Pougets Grand Cru 2017 is a generous and well fruited wine that is complex with such notes as damp undergrowth behind the fine fruit. On the palate it is well structured with plenty of supporting tannins. A big brooding wine that's built to last for 15 to 20 years. A great effort from this fine estate.

The Corton hill sits at the confluence of the villages of Ladoix, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. Corton is the only red grand cru on the Côte De Beaune. Located at an altitude of between 250 and 300 metres, the vineyard forms an unrivalled amphitheatre with an exceptional southern exposure to trap the sunlight.

Domaine Rapet Père Et Fils aims to make brightly fruited wines with rich, yet integrated tannins - the mark of well ripened grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are carefully sorted at the winery before fermentation and ageing that takes place in oak barrels, of which 20% are new. The grapes and the wine are handled as little as possible to preserve every ounce of their character.
