Tasting notes
Vibrant, sweet fruit on the nose with apricot, peach and apple. Soft spices, something slightly honeyed – in fact, this reminds me a bit of Pinot Gris. (RH)

A radiant nose of Granny Smith apples, spice, floral, pear, mineral reduction and a discreet hint of wood introduces tight, intense and sleekly muscular broad-shouldered flavors that possess very fine mid-palate concentration. There is outstanding size, weight and vibrancy to the very dry finish that delivers seriously impressive depth and striking length. While not the best Rapet Corton-Charlemagne that I have ever seen, this is certainly among them. Tasted: Jun 11, 2013. Drink: 2018+
