Gérard 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: an impressive portfolio that includes five Grand Crus and three Grand Crus (alas, only a partial selection for tasting). They have some very old vine stock to work with, the fruit picked by hand, fermented with natural yeasts, matured for around 18 months in barrel (around 15% new) and bottled without fining or filtration. I absolute loved the two latest vintages of Clos de Vougeot, so much so that I was compelled to mention Raphet here and make a vow to visit the domaine on my next visit to Burgundy.
