Gerard Raphet Clos De La Roche Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2021 750 ML

The wines of Gerard Raphet are a Burgundy lover’s Burgundy. While the wine’s color in the glass is a delicate ruby, aromas and flavors 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’s rows of vines are located upslope in this grand cru vineyard, near the border with grand cru Clos Saint-Denis. A small percentage of vines were planted in 1920; the rest in 1982.
