2022 Domaine Rapet Pére et Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Les Combottes

£42.00

“The full name of this interesting village-level climat is Plantes de Champs et Combottes; Vincent Rapet notes that the vines are located at 350 metres elevation facing west. They have delivered a wine with a finely tuned balance between freshness and ripe fruit, with notes of grapefruit and passionfruit and a firm mineral edge. The texture is lively and fine, and the finish is long. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters and fermented in cask (30% new). This crisp, delicious wine will drink on release but is also suited for mid-term ageing.”

Product Description

A great Burgundy white wine from the Pernand-Vergelesses commune. The grape variety used is Chardonnay. The vines are newly planted, dating from the early 2000’s, on new parcels facing south-west, quite difficult to cultivate because of the very steep slope.

The name “Combottes” is a diminutive of “combe”, coomb, which refers to the valley-like character of this parcel.

The hillside is situated in the “climat” “Les plantes des champs et combottes” and faces south-west extending from the village; the soil here is white, marly and fairly light. The rows are short with ditches in between to limit erosion.

Le Pernand – Vergelesses “Les Combottes” is an eye-catcher because of it’s beautiful colour with a golden tint. It is fresh, lively and elegant and has a delicate bouquet of fresh fruit developing spicy notes with hints of honey and gun-flint when mature. This wine is at it’s best between 3 and 5 years. Served at 12°C, it accompanies an elegant starter, a mellow goat cheese in aumônière-purse, stewed langoustine, gambas, fine fish and bleu de Bresse-cheese.
