Domaine Gerard Raphet

Gérard Raphet took charge in succession to his father Jean in 2002. I remember the latter’s 1988 being the clear winner in a significant line up of young Clos de Vougeot wines at a tasting at the Chateau de Gilly, but alas that particular wine did not really live up to my expectations. This is now certainly a good source, for Morey st denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, along with grands crus Clos de Vougeot, Clos de la Roche, Charmes-Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze.
