Beaune 'Clos des Champs Pimont'

This Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Champs Pimont is a characterful white Burgundy from Domaine Rapet Père & Fils, a historic family estate that has been active in Burgundy since 1765. Today, Vincent and Robin Rapet continue the tradition with a clear focus on expressing terroir and maintaining minimal intervention. The Champs Pimont parcel lies south of the Montagne de Beaune, at the foot of the hillside, and is surrounded by the vineyards of the Hospices de Beaune. The clay limestone soils, rich in hard rock, stones and iron laden earth, give this Chardonnay depth, tension and character.

In the glass, the wine appears bright and refined. The nose opens with elegant aromas of white flowers and fresh citrus. On the palate, the wine is supple and generous, showing a fine balance between rounded fruit and a subtle saline note. The structure is harmonious and precise, leading to a fresh, persistent finish that highlights the mineral character of the terroir.

This Beaune Premier Cru shows at its best when served at around 12 °C. It pairs beautifully with freshwater fish, fine charcuterie, a spring vegetable risotto or a beautifully roasted Bresse chicken.

An elegant and gastronomic white Burgundy for lovers of refined, terroir driven Chardonnay, ideal for memorable dining moments and best enjoyed after a few years of ageing, with excellent potential for further development in the cellar.
