"Rapet's blended Corton combines the south-facing Les Chaumes et La Voierosse with some grapes from Les Combes at the base of the slope near Les Meix. Most of the vineyard is planted with 70-year-old vines, but a replanted section brings the average down to 50 years. These two locations ripe grapes well; the vines are picked right after those in Beaune. The grapes are destemmed and firmly punched down during fermentation to deliver this wine with an appealing black cherry fruit with hints of earth and roast meat and a firmly tannic structure that carries the wine to a lingering finish." 95 Decanter
