Description
This relatively warm vineyard faces southeast, high on the slope and sheltered by the trees above. It delivers a rich and powerful wine which can comfortably absorb 20% new oak. Expect aromas of exotic fruit and ultra-ripe citrus; there’s an enveloping mouthfeel but no lack of freshness. Pernand’s characteristic salinity kicks in towards the finish.

Critics reviews
Muted nose. Lightly nutty on the nose. Then sweet and seductive on the palate but a little sweeter than classic white burgundy. A hint of lemon syrup. And some chewiness on the end.
Drink 2026 - 2037
Firm reduction will require a thorough aeration to lift. Otherwise there is solid volume to the caressing and nicely punch medium-bodied flavors that retain reasonably good volume on the detailed and sneaky long finish where a hint of bitter citrus zest appears. This could use more depth and it's already so forward it's not clear how much will develop.
Drink 2023+
Planted between 1989 and 2007, having reclaimed steep hillside. Well exposed, but protected from the cool air currents. Lemon and lime colour with a well balanced nose, not an aquiline Pernand, but not an overheated one either. Soft fluffy white fruit on the palate, plenty of volume here, needs a touch more tension for perfection.
