2016 Domaine Rapet Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 0,75 Liter

The Domaine Rapet Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2016 is a majestic Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most iconic Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. This 2016 vintage displays a deep gold hue and a complex nose of ripe apple, pear, and citrus zest, with hints of toasted oak, hazelnut, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is rich and powerful, with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine showcases Rapet’s mastery of balancing richness and finesse. Perfect with lobster, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. With nearly a decade of aging, it is drinking beautifully now but has significant aging potential, promising to evolve over the next 15-20 years. This Corton-Charlemagne is a benchmark for Grand Cru Burgundy, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
