Gerard Raphet Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

Gerard Raphet Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

Discreet but perceptible wood sets off the slightly riper aromas of cassis, poached plum and newly turned earth. The succulent, round and seductively textured larger-scaled flavors possess a finer texture if not quite the same intensity on the dusty, youthfully austere and relatively robust finish that is shaped by very firm but not rustic tannins.

Gérard Raphet is a wine producer located in the Burgundy village of Morey-Saint-Denis. It was established in the 1920s and has been family-owned for four generations.

The domaine produces regional, village, premier cru, and grand cru Burgundy wines from mature Pinot Noir vines, some over 100 years old. Raphet's top bottlings include wines from the grand cru vineyards Clos de Vougeot, Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze, Charmes-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche.
