2023 Domaine Rapet Pere et Fils Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Magnum

(96 points) "The wonderful Corton-Charlemagne from Rapet offers pronounced apricot and quince fruit with a lemon-peel edge. The texture is rich and dense, yet balanced by a surprisingly crisp acidity for the vintage. The grapes from En Charlemagne, Chaumes et La Voierosse and Les Combes were picked on 11 September, right before the rain, and pressed as whole clusters before fermentation, mostly in 250-litre casks with a bit of foudre and one amphora. Ideally, I would age this at least 10 years and enjoy it over the next 40. Drinking Window: 2035-2075. (11/11/24)" Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter)
