Domaine Rapet Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022
DOZEN: $5,100.00 or $425.00 each
1945 and 1950 – the oldest vines of the domaine. 90% of the fruit comes from En Charlemagne in Pernand with the remainder from Le Charlemagne in Aloxe; the total holding is 3 ha.
Another strong performance from Rapet, the 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear and crisp orchard fruit mingled with toasted nuts, white flowers and waxy citrus rind. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a glossy, concentrated profile, excellent underlying cut and a long, mineral finish, it's a very good wine that still flies somewhat under the radar. WILLIAM KELLEY
A more fluid, airy but complex and deep nose. A sizzling energy to this, mineral, structural wine. Then you take the next step into a broad and very fine finish – just a hint of barrel creeps into the flavours here but it merely adds a little sweetness and width. Simply super wine! BILL NANSON
The 2022 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru has a very terse nose. It opens with struck flint—quite a bit of reduction here—and a very light fish scale scent in the background that imparts complexity. The palate is well balanced, with a slightly creamy-textured opening, flavors of chamomile and lemon curd and a fine bead of acidity. Impressive substance comes through on the finish. Give this two to three years in bottle. NEAL MARTIN
