Description

Save 10% on the 75cl bottle, previously priced at £75.50. Offer valid while stocks last. BBX listings excluded.

From Les Bussières, note that in some markets, this is labelled using the vineyard name.

A wonderfully fresh blend of red and blue pinot fruit is nuanced with floral, spice and tea wisps. There is even better volume to the utterly delicious, refined and lacy flavours that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the beautifully complex and balanced finale. This is lovely, and I particularly like the fruit/acid/tannin balance.

Drink from 2027 onward

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Domaine Gerard Raphet

Gérard Raphet took charge in succession to his father Jean in 2002. I remember the latter’s 1988 being the clear winner in a significant line up of young Clos de Vougeot wines at a tasting at the Chateau de Gilly, but alas that particular wine did not really live up to my expectations. This is now certainly a good source, for Morey st denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, along with grands crus Clos de Vougeot, Clos de la Roche, Charmes-Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze.
