Not kidding. This drinks *WAY* over its price tag. Raphet is well-known as a “Burgundy lover's Burgundy”, making beautifully-crafted wines from old vines since 1920’s. Les Grands Champs Cuvee Unique is a dark, rich, brooding, deeply complex wine, and is unfined, unfiltered, and spent 18 months in used French oak. Location-wise, it’s important to know that the vineyard is downslope from the Grand Cru Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, and is also completely flanked by Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards. It would be a fascinating and illuminating exercise to put this up against a LOT of MUCH pricier Gevrey wines! In short? LOAD UP on this gem -- simply a stunning value.
About the Producer
Gerard took over the domaine in 2005; today his daughter Marion also helps out in the cellar and fields. Gerard is modest, almost shy, preferring the majesty of his old-vine Pinot Noir to ?do the talking.? And talk it does, from the exuberant aromas of young wine to the suave silk of cellared bottles, some 10 to 20 to even 30 years on.
