Domaine Rapet Père et Fils - Pernand-Vergelesses Les Combottes Blanc 2019

Le Pernand – Vergelesses "Les Combottes" is an eye-catcher because of it's beautiful colour with a golden tint. It is fresh, lively and elegant and has a delicate bouquet of fresh fruit developing spicy notes with hints of honey and gun-flint when mature. This wine is at it's best between 3 and 5 years. Served at 12°C, it accompanies an elegant starter, a mellow goat cheese, stewed langoustine, gambas, fine fish and bleu de Bresse-cheese. The unassuming Vincent Rapet—whose family can trace its roots in Pernand back to 1795—continues to operate largely under the radar, making thoughtful incremental improvements,  it is a mystery why these wines aren't better known.
