In this 2023 vintage, the Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Rapet Père & Fils establishes itself as the authentic expression of Chardonnay in Burgundy, revealing the flint character of clay-limestone soils. Here is the tasting we conducted:
The Appearance: golden and brilliant, with sublime gold reflections attesting to its finesse.
The Nose: complex and expressive, unveiling notes of honey, toasted almond, and an exquisite minerality reminiscent of the Corton terroir.
The Palate: opulent and elegant, its texture unfolds subtly, indicating an aging potential of 5 to 10 years before reaching full maturity.
This 2023 vintage of Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is the result of traditional winemaking, 100% Chardonnay. Hand-harvested grapes, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months preserve the fruit's authenticity while endowing it with structure and elegance.
Driven by the expertise of a family tradition passed down from father to son, Vincent Rapet has modernized the winery within historic walls, blending tradition and innovation to offer a wine that challenges the norms of Burgundy. This unique alchemy places Corton Charlemagne among the region's great crus.
12bouteilles' Recommendation: Serve ideally between 10 and 12 °C. Perfect for pairing with foie gras, lobster, delicate fish, or veal sweetbreads in a casserole, this grand cru elevates the most refined dishes.
