Notes: "This Pernand Vergelesses comes from a vineyard just a stone's throw from Corton Charlemagne, and delivers a similar mineral-driven, focused character. It sees less than 10% new oak and no lees stirring, to preserve its freshness and character. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer). Allen Meadows writes: "This also displays mild oak toast on the otherwise pure and refined white flower, green fruit and subtly spiced nose that is in perfect keeping with the racy, pure and intense mineral-infused flavors that are not particularly complex but there is good energy and persistence on the mostly fruit-driven finish." (Burghound 07/08)
This Sous Fretille Blanc is showing amazing stone fruit mixed with clean minerality, a hint of oak rounds any rough edges. Polished and Handsome. I highly recommend this wine.
