\n“Nothing gives me more pleasure than foraging for winemakers unknown to myself, or those that I have never visited. There are innumerable \u201cunder-the-radar\u201d growers in Burgundy, and I use that term knowing that some oenophile\u2019s radars are better than others.”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\nOne of his top pleasures, apparently, has been discovering Gerard Raphet:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nG\u00e9rard Raphet took off the running of the family Domaine back in 2002 and nowadays is assisted by his daughter Virginie. The Raphets farm around 12 hectares of vines mainly around Morey-Saint-Denis:\u00a0an impressive portfolio<\/b>\u00a0…\u00a0\u00a0I absolutely loved the two latest vintages of Clos de Vougeot<\/b>, so much so that I was compelled to mention Raphet here and\u00a0make a vow to visit the domaine on my next visit to Burgundy.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.106″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n

2016\u00a0Domaine G\u00e9rard Raphet\u00a0Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru<\/strong><\/p>\n
The 2016 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a backward, almost broody bouquet with pure redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit laced with mineral. This is very well defined but it will clearly need 3 or 4 years. The palate is defined by its sweet core of tannins. What impresses the most is the\u00a0precision and vivacity\u00a0of this Clos de Vougeot. Hints of blood orange suffuse dense red fruit on the finish.\u00a0Excellent.\u00a0— Neal Martin<\/p>\n
2014 Domaine G\u00e9rard Raphet Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru<\/strong><\/p>\n
The 2014 Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has a bashful bouquet that demands coaxing, but develops nicely with aeration to offer briary and wild strawberry scents, a touch of iris and incense. The palate has good backbone, for what is a sturdy and assertive Clos de Vougeot with a Morey-like finish.\u00a0Excellent.\u00a0— Neal Martin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
