RAPHET MSD 1ER LES MILLANDES 750 ml

Raphet wines are a Burgundy lover's Burgundy. They are best appreciated by those familiar with the light colour and earthy flavours of classic Burgundian Pinot Noir. Raphet, over decades, has become the favourite Burgundy of customers and employees alike. They are wines that many feel "speak" especially and directly to them, not dissimilar to a work of art.

The wine's aromas depart from the traditional Burgundian violets to suggest a potpourri of cinnamon, clove and incense. The wine's light colour and fine texture require studied attention on behalf of the drinker. A subtle but not invisible touch of wood sets off the very ripe aromas of cassis, black raspberry liqueur and discreet earth elements. The mouth coating and seductively suave medium-bodied flavours are quite round before firming up noticeably on the mildly warm finish. This is delicious and attractive already, but there is enough structure to warrant allowing up to a decade of bottle aging.
