Domaine Gerard Raphet Clos De La Roche Grand Cru 2022

Domaine Gérard Raphet Clos De La Roche Grand Cru 2022 is a profound, beautifully concentrated Grand Cru red Burgundy from one of the most powerful and structured sites in Morey-Saint-Denis. True to the estate's traditionalist philosophy, this old-vine Pinot Noir is vinified using ambient yeasts and bottled unfined and unfiltered to showcase its raw geological heritage. The solar and successful 2022 vintage endows the wine with an intense dark ruby color and a deeply layered nose of black cherries, red plums, and wild strawberries, layered with nuances of wet stone, baking spices, and warm, loamy earth. On the palate, it exhibits superb textural depth, driven by a fine balance of concentrated dark berry fruit, velvety yet robust tannins, and a persistent limestone minerality.

Food Pairing: This powerful and structured Grand Cru Burgundy pairs excellently with pan-seared duck breast, roasted venison, wild boar ragù, or rich wild mushroom risotto.
