AboutDomaine Rapet Père et Fils
The Rapet family’s Burgundy history reaches back at least to 1765, the date engraved on a tastevin, or wine-tasting cup, kept at the domaine. Vincent and Sylvette Rapet developed the family estate at Pernand-Vergelesses, and their son Robin joined in 2022.
Its roughly twenty-four hectares span Pernand, Savigny, Chorey, Aloxe and Beaune, including vineyards around Corton. The family is moving part of the vineyard work toward organic methods. Grapes are sorted, and the use of oak is tailored to each wine.

Cassis and wild berries lead into forest floor and a fine thread of wood smoke. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with dense fruit held by firm, chewy tannins and a savoury mineral undertone. Power is matched by depth rather than excess, and the structure remains clear from the first sip through the finish. Long and expansive, it will reward a generous decant and substantial food.
