Domaine Rapet Pere & Fils, Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Fretille 2017

"Offering up aromas of ripe citrus fruit, acacia honey, wet stones and crisp yellow apple, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and beautifully precise, with superb energy, good concentration and a long, mineral finish. Though it isn't as structured or muscular as the Corton-Charlemagne, it nips at its heels."-Wine Advocate

"More positive is the impressive density of the medium weight flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract, all wrapped in a powerful, textured and impressively long if mildly rustic finish. There is a hint of warmth but it's sufficiently subtle to not be intrusive."-Allen Meadows
