Nestled between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, the Pernand-Vergelesses vineyard flourishes in a verdant valley at the foot of the Corton hill. The ‘Les Belles Filles' vineyard, with its evocative and poetic name, perfectly captures the gentle and almost intimate atmosphere of this terroir, where the vines benefit from an ideal eastern exposure. Soils blending limestone and iron-rich clay give rise to red wines that are both supple and precise, marked by a lovely freshness. The 2024 vintage from Domaine Rapet Père & Fils accurately reflects this identity: a fruit-driven Pinot Noir, dominated by notes of redcurrant, raspberry and blackcurrant, enhanced by a floral touch and a subtle spicy undertone. The winemaking process, meticulous and minimally interventionist, prioritises finesse: careful sorting, gentle extraction through punching down, and ageing in partially new barrels help preserve the wine's natural balance. On the palate, this translates into supple tannins, an elegant texture and a fresh, slightly mineral finish. Ready to drink after a few years, this Pernand-Vergelesses charms with its harmony and straightforwardness. It is the perfect accompaniment to roast meats, slow-cooked dishes or a cheese platter, served at around 15°C.
