The Domaine Rapet Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille 2022 is a prestigious Chardonnay from France’s Burgundy region, crafted by the biodynamic Domaine Rapet from the Sous Frétille vineyard in Pernand-Vergelesses. This 2022 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe peach, lemon curd, and white flowers, with hints of brioche, flint, and subtle oak. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of toasty complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the limestone-rich terroir of Pernand-Vergelesses. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. Rated highly by critics, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 7-10 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This 1er Cru is a collector’s gem, showcasing Rapet’s mastery of crafting iconic Burgundy whites with elegance and power.
