2021 Bourgogne Rouge | Domaine Rapet Père & Fils
There are virtually no Grand Cru and very few Premier Cru White Burgundies available in Australia or the world.
86 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
A very pinot-like nose combines notes of red cherry with those of earth and a whiff of crushed fennel. The supple, round and delicious middleweight flavors offer good energy that continues onto the mildly austere and rustic finish that leans out slightly as it sits on the palate. To enjoy young for its crunchy fruit and I would suggest serving it with an appropriate dish to round off the finish. Drink: 2024+
As the Premier & Grand Cru shortages hit home I asked a revered Western Australian Burgundian fanatic if he had any recommendations as to more potential White Burgundy suppliers. He answered immediately “Rapet Pere & Fils”. I had also asked two of my friends in Burgundy for recommendations of quality Domaines that did not have representation in Australia. Both checked with their friends and one came back offering Morey Coffinet & … Rapet Pere & Fils.
