2023 Domaine Rapet Pere et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes | Pre-Arrival Offer

94 Points - Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

“Features extraordinary purity of fruit, with pronounced, high-toned pomegranate, wild strawberry and a burst of limestone minerality. The texture has abundant tension, but there is enough weight to ensure that the wine isn't shrill. The grapes are from a half-hectare at the very top of the hill in the last remnants of topsoil. This should open after three to five years in bottle and drink for a further 15 after that. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2040”

92 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

“Mid ruby. I can smell the whole bunches a little more in this wine, though the proportion is no higher. Suits the terroir perhaps. Certainly, the fruit is more expressive, floral, alpine strawberries, then a little more concentrate raspberry behind. An evanescent drier touch from the stems which will become leafy with time. Original score: 90-92 points”

91 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

“A markedly more floral-suffused nose is more elegant as well with its airy aromas of red cherry, currant, violet and exotic tea. There is slightly better volume to the beautifully textured and generous flavors that display good power on the youthfully austere, compact and built-to-age finale. This is quite solid and a wine that should amply reward a decade, perhaps even a bit more, of cellaring. (Drink starting 2033)”
