2017 Domaine Rapet Clos des Champs Pimont 1er Cru 0,75 Liter

The Domaine Rapet Clos des Champs Pimont 1er Cru 2017 is a sophisticated white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune, crafted from Chardonnay in the premier cru Clos des Champs Pimont vineyard. This 2017 vintage displays a pale gold hue and a complex nose of ripe pear, citrus zest, and hazelnut, with hints of buttery oak and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is rich and balanced, with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects Rapet’s expertise in crafting elegant, terroir-driven Chardonnay. It pairs beautifully with lobster, creamy sauces, or aged cheeses, offering a luxurious dining experience. With good aging potential, it will continue to evolve over the next 8-12 years, making it a favorite for Burgundy collectors.
