Domaine Vincent Rapet, Pernand Vergelesses

Founded in 1765, this historic family estate is now led by Vincent Rapet, who crafts wines in a modern style that are both well-vinified and true to their terroir. These wines benefit from a few years of cellaring, and the various cuvées remain attractively priced. In short, Domaine Rapet is a dependable source for both red and white Burgundy wines.

Located between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, the Pernand-Vergelesses vineyard is nestled in the greenery of a peaceful valley and originates at the foot of the Corton hill. Facing east, this vineyard site lies along the road from Beaune to Pernand. Gently sloping terrain is stabilised by limestone terraces, while the iron-rich clay soils give the earth its distinctive red hue. It is here that the supple, fruit-forward red wines of the Côte de Beaune find their origin.

Red fruit notes, including raspberries, strawberries, and cherries, along with subtle floral hints of violet and rose petal. The wine has earthy notes, along with a hint of spice or vanilla. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a balanced and juicy texture.

Grape: Pinot Noir
