Domaine Rapet Pere & Fils, Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Fretille 2016

"A fresh if very reserved nose features ripe aromas of cassis, black cherry and a whiff of plum that exhibit added breadth in the form of spice, floral and underbrush hints. There is first-rate punch and delineation to the nicely mineral-inflected flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the firm, youthfully austere and mildly rustic but beautifully well-balanced finish that exhibits outstanding depth and persistence." - Allen Meadows

"A fine chiselled nose with a touch of attractive gun-flint reduction. Plenty of character here. Good density of flavour, weight without losing the essential fresh style of the village, very good length behind." - Jasper Morris MW
