2022 Domaine Rapet Pére et Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Les Belles Filles
£42.00
“The fresh, bright raspberry and cranberry fruit aromas are inscribed with hints of flowers and mint. The texture is approachable, yet firm tannins and fresh acidity draw the wine to a lingering finish. The grapes are destemmed and punched down regularly during the fermentation; no sulfur is used until bottling, and this bottling is aged in 20% new casks. It should open in three to five years and is perfect for mid-term ageing.”

Product Description
The Pernand-Vergelesses vineyard nestles in a green and peaceful valley between Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, at the foot of the Corton hill.
The name of the “climat” “Bois Noël et Belles Filles” refers, poetically speaking, to a certain locality where the young women joyfully went for romantic dates.
It is the only area producing an equal amount of red and white wines, representing the whole palette of crus, warmly welcoming tourists and wine lovers, who will be enchanted by this wonderful place.
Pernand – Vergelesses : This “climat”, well-exposed facing east, is situated across from the village of Pernand.
The slope is quite steep and erosion is limited by limestone banks. The soil takes on a red colour due to the ferruginous clay present in the ground.
This is the birthplace of the supple and fruity red wines, gems of the Côte de Beaune.
Their aromas are fresh (black and red currant), round and fruity with a touch of mineral, so typical of our coteaux. The Pernand can be served after 3 years. The ideal serving temperature is around 15°C. It goes well with beef tenderloin, veal sauté, lamb shoulder “laquée, duck fricassée façon coq or with a selection of delicious cheeses.
