Domaine Gerard Raphet Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes 2022
Raphet has two parcels in the Clos. One with a a stone marker set on the vineyard’s down-slope wall. Another family parcel upslope, with older vines, is located in lieu-dit ‘Les Grand Maupertuis.’ They make a wine that blends the two, BUT this wine is entirely from Les Grands Maupertis from vines that are nearly 100 years old. Here soils are thin, closer to the “mother rock” of Burgundian limestone. Aromas of earth, baking spices, red and black berries. Fine-grained tannins; structured, earthy, profound.
"More discreet wood sets off the ultra-fresh nose of various red berries, spice, newly turned earth and a similar hint of humus character. The old vines are in evidence on succulent and tension-filled medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of sappy dry extract that completely buffers the slightly firmer tannins shaping the lingering and firmly austere finale. Patience advised." - Allen Meadows burghound.com
