While still a relatively under-the-radar name, Rapet Père et Fils is a historic estate based in Pernand-Vergelesses, with roots dating back to 1795, best known for being one of the largest single owners of Corton-Charlemagne. Today, we’re offering one of the best white Burgundy values of the vintage in half-bottle via the 2020 Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc, making it an ideal choice for weeknight drinking, smaller servings, or trying something new without committing to a full bottle. Sourced from village parcels in Les Plantes des Champs and Combottes—planted on white marble soils in the early 2000s at the cooler northern edge of the commune—this wine reflects the domaine’s commitment to site expression and precision. Fermented and aged in barrel (about 20% new oak) without bâtonnage, it shows fresh yellow fruits, a hint of honey and spice, and a flinty, mineral edge. The 2020 vintage produced concentrated yet vibrant whites, and this bottling offers a delicate, food-friendly style that pairs well with goat cheese, shellfish, or lighter fare. A top pick for domestic and European Chardonnay fans alike, it is a standout buy in the half-bottle format.
