Corton Grand Cru 2022

The 2022 Corton Grand Cru from Domaine Rapet Père et Fils demonstrates the nobility and power characteristic of this historic grand cru, one of the Côte de Beaune's most prestigious red wine terroirs. Rapet's holdings on the Corton hill are particularly well-situated, contributing to the wine's depth and complexity.

The nose is impressively layered, offering a sophisticated array of red and dark fruits, enhanced by subtle spice notes and the classic iron-tinged minerality that is a hallmark of great Corton. The aromatic profile speaks clearly of its grand cru origins, showing both power and refinement.

On the palate, the wine displays the muscular structure typical of Corton while maintaining elegance. The 2022 vintage's warmth has produced ripe, concentrated fruit, beautifully balanced by fresh acidity and refined tannins. The finish is remarkably persistent, with waves of fruit and mineral notes that continue to evolve, suggesting excellent aging potential.

This wine captures both the distinctive character of the Corton hillside and the warmth of the 2022 vintage, while showcasing Rapet's skilled interpretation of this renowned terroir.
