Domaine Rapet Père et Fils Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 ECO

Domaine Rapet Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 is the house's flagship wine and one of the most sought-after white wines in all of Burgundy. The Corton-Charlemagne vineyard is legendary, located on the high slopes of the Corton mountain, where the chalky soil and cool winds create ideal conditions for the Chardonnay grape. The Rapet family, with roots in the area since 1765, are among the most respected producers of this iconic wine.

In the glass, the wine presents itself with an intense straw yellow color with golden hues. The nose is grand and complex with layers upon layers of aromas: fresh citrus fruits, green apples, pear and white flowers, merging with subtle notes of brioche, toasted almonds, honey and a mineral touch of lime and flint. The long barrel aging adds elegant touches of vanilla and butter.

The palate is powerful and precise at the same time. An intense concentration of ripe fruit is balanced by a lithe acidity and an almost electric minerality, characteristic of Corton-Charlemagne. The texture is creamy and rich, but never heavy – the wine appears lifted, taut and with a persistent aftertaste, where citrus, stone fruit and mineral notes linger for a long time.

Domaine Rapet Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022 is a wine that represents the best of white Burgundy. It can be enjoyed young for its freshness and nerve, but over time will develop even greater complexity with notes of nuts, honey and tertiary aromas. The aging potential is 15–20 years under optimal conditions. It is ideal for gastronomic moments – luxurious seafood dishes, lobster, grilled fish, foie gras or poultry in creamy sauces.
