Domaine Rapet Père et Fils - Chorey-lès-Beaune - Vieilles Vignes - Red - 2023

Wine:

The 2023 Red Chorey-lès-Beaune Vieilles Vignes is a beautiful tribute to Pinot Noir, showcasing pure, expressive fruit—think ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of raspberry—all brought to life by a vintage that combines freshness with ripeness. Aged with 20% new oak, the wine gains subtle layers of spice and texture, enhancing the body without masking its natural finesse. A graceful, well-balanced bottle, perfect with a classic pot-au-feu or a beef carpaccio. Drink now or cellar for 5 to 8 years.
