Wine Description:
With roots tracing back to 1795, the Rapet family in Pernand is a significant landholder in Corton-Charlemagne. Despite a rich history and outstanding wines, they remain relatively undiscovered. Under Vincent Rapet's guidance, vinification is traditional, employing whole-cluster pressing for whites and a mix of barrel and concrete egg fermentation. Reds undergo a short cold soak and around 15 days of maceration, maturing in carefully selected new wood. The flagship Corton-Charlemagne showcases their prowess, while wines like the old vine Pernand Sous Frétille offer insider gems. This domaine warrants more attention, particularly considering its reasonable prices.
Pros:
  • Corton Pougets is a Grand Cru vineyard, which is the highest classification in Burgundy, France

Cons:
  • As a Grand Cru wine, it comes with a higher price tag
