Domaine Rapet Père & Fils Pernand-Vergelesse Premier Cru 'Sous Frétille' 2023

Domaine Rapet Père & Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru "Sous Frétille" 2023 is a classic white Burgundy from one of the most respected houses in the Côte de Beaune. The fields of Sous Frétille are located high and cool above the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, right next to the famous Corton hills. The combination of the chalky soil and the fresh mountain air produces wines with a distinctive minerality, elegance and a clear terroir character.

In the glass, the wine appears light straw yellow with green reflections. The aroma is complex and intense with notes of citrus fruits, green apples and white flowers, complemented by a touch of brioche, toasted hazelnut and a discreet touch of vanilla from the oak ageing.

The palate is refined and precise with a nice balance between fresh acidity, fruity body and mineral elegance. Citrus, pear and peach unfold in the mouth, followed by a delicate creamy structure and a long, salty aftertaste with an almost chalky freshness. A wine with both finesse and power, showing the special expression of Sous Frétille .

Domaine Rapet Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Sous Frétille" 2023 is a wine that will shine both young and after a few years in the cellar. It goes excellently with shellfish, lobster, creamy fish dishes, white meat and dishes with mushrooms or butter-based sauces. It has an aging potential of 8–10 years, during which the complexity will unfold even more.
