Tasting notes
Bottled. Delicately fragrant with a lovely creamy citrus nose. Lightish on the palate, crisp and tighter than the nose suggested but precise and long. (JH)

A cuvée Rapet always describes as his "restaurant wine," the 2017 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Combottes Blanc bursts with pretty scents of apple blossom and white currants. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, supple and satiny, with an open-knit core, pleasing purity and a mouthwatering finish. It's already drinking well.
