The wines of Gérard Raphet are a Burgundy lover’s Burgundy. While the wine’s colour in the glass is a delicate ruby, aromas and flavours surprise with their forceful intensity. This contrast often catches the uninitiated off guard, yet it is part of the attraction and seduction of these limited and highly sought-after wines. Raphet Burgundy is handmade from field to bottle, with a rhythm and method that hasn’t changed in four generations. Vines are on average very old, with many vines over 100 years. Harvest is done by hand, and grapes are fermented on indigenous yeasts in tank and then aged for some 18 months in mostly older French oak barrels. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Champs Chenys -the source for this wine -is directly down from grand cru Charmes-Chambertin, it’s surrounded on three sides by Grand Cru vineyards. The vines range from 35 to 110 years old.
A slightly more deeply pitched nose speaks of red and dark currant scents that are laced with hints of earth and a whisper of the sauvage. There is better volume to the delicious medium-weight flavours that are attractively energetic while exuding a subtle minerality on the firmer, more complex and sneaky long finish.
