Corton is the only red grand cru of the Cote de Beaune, and Rapet's comes mainly from the Voirosses sector, red soil over limestone, with roughly a third each of old-vine fruit, new oak and whole bunch. This is not the brawny style of Corton: it is finer and more floral, with sweet red berry and rose-petal perfume over chalky tannins, the depth arriving late with an attractive crunch. A grand cru to cellar, ideally from the middle of next decade.

Domaine Rapet Père et Fils (Pernand-Vergelesses)
Farming the hill of Corton since 1765, led by Vincent Rapet with son Robin. A reference for Corton-Charlemagne across twenty hectares of old vines, with reds that have risen to match the whites.

Critic Reviews

94 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

“90% Voierosses. 10% Combes, red soil on top of limestone. One third tressed vines, one third new wood, one third whole bunch. Slightly paler than some, with a floral note, this is very far from a massive Corton. The depth of flavour, in darker fruit, arrives at the back, with an attractive crunch to finish. Understated but definitely fine. Original score: 92-94 points”

93 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

“The 2023 Corton Grand Cru has turned out nicely, revealing aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively palate framed by chalky tannins. As usual, it will reward a little patience.”

92 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

“A more layered, though less floral, nose combines notes of both red and blue pinot fruit, newly turned earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The caressing, suave and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess impressively volume and exuding evident minerality on the sneaky long, firm, compact and youthfully austere finale. This is potentially excellent though it's also a wine that's going to require at least moderate patience. (Drink starting 2035)”
