A refined Premier Cru with a highly aromatic nose, elegantly combining aromas of strawberries and raspberries, subtly enhanced by a hint of spice. On the palate, it charms with its elegance, freshness and depth, offering a balanced, precise structure. There is plenty of energy and tension, giving this wine a vibrant dynamic. The subtle, mineral finish underlines the unique expression of this terroir. A wine of great promise, taking a few years in bottle for it to reveal its full potential. Certainly one of the best terroirs in Pernand-Vergelesses.
