Additional Information

The wines of Gerard Raphet are a Burgundy lover’s Burgundy. While the wine’s color in the glass is a delicate ruby, aromas and flavors surprise with their forceful intensity. This contrast often catches the uninitiated off guard, yet it is part of the attraction and seduction of these limited and highly sought-after wines. Indeed of all our Burgundy partners, Raphet inspires the most emotion when trying to describe what exactly makes these wines so captivating. Raphet Burgundy surprises and

delights; it opens the possibilities of what great, old-vine Burgundy can do, and just how intimate and special that experience can be. We first started working with the Raphet family decades ago, when Gerard’s father Jean was at the helm. Our tastings would often evolve into a long chat in the family kitchen over a couple of bottles, unlabeled, vintages such as 1978 and 1985 hand-scrawled on the glass. No Raphet ever went to enology school; winemaking as family tradition has been passed from father to son, and now daughter, through four generations. Gerard took over the domaine in 2005; today his daughter Marion also helps out in the cellar and fields. Gerard is modest, almost shy, preferring the majesty of his old-vine Pinot Noir to “do the talking.” And talk it does, from the exuberant aromas of young wine to the suave silk of cellared bottles, some 10 to 20 to even 30 years on.
