En Primeur | Domaine Rapet

Domaine Rapet, founded in 1765, boasts 20 hectares of some of the finest vineyards in the northern end of the Côte de Beaune. They have 21 different cuvées from 5 different villages around the town of Beaune, including an enviable two-hectare parcel of Grand Cru Corton Charlemagne. The current incumbent Vincent assumed responsibility for the domaine in 1985 at just 21, so with over 35 vintages under his belt, he is very much a senior statesman in the village of Pernand Vergelesses.

    This impressive Premier Cru faces the hillside of Corton Charlemagne. The cool, east-facing white marl slope makes it an ideal site for growing exceptionally pure Chardonnay. Due to the very small crop, Rapet were forced to use 100% barrel fermentation and elevage and no cement eggs this year. Fresh lemon sorbet scent, with hints of nutmeg and almond. The cooler nature of the vintage allows the wines florality and brightness to shine through. Its persistent finish highlights its Premier Cru status.

  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025

    Vincent and Robin categorise the vines for this fine cuvée into three groups: the younger vines under 30 years which give 30% of the cuvée, the next 30% from 30-year-old vines, and the final 40% from vines aged between 40- 60 years, all from the Pernand Vergelesses sector of the hillside. 30% new oak and 12 months in barrel (apart from a tiny proportion of 125 litres in glass globe) followed by 6 months in stainless steel, precede bottling. A deliciously creamy wine, with a degree of Corton exuberance, clotted cream, roasted hazelnut and ripe yellow stone fruits. An enticing volume, the glycerol rich sensation avoids any form of excess, thanks a lift of lime peel freshness at the end.

Whilst not accredited as organic, he follows extremely careful and environmentally respectful practices. The quality of fruit in the vineyard is paramount to the success of this fine estate’s wines. They are not flashy, rather thoughtful in style as Vincent is, and they always have a lovely composure and intensity.
