Pernand-Vergelesses Chardonnay 2017

Grape Variety : Chardonnay

Soil : Clay and limestone

Site : In the Northern part of the Côte de Beaune, in the commune of Pernand Vergelesses.

The Vintage 2017 : After a classic winter, spring settled down with warm températures but a cool weather in April slackened down the evolution of the vines. May was rainy and was followed by a warm summer with heat waves. However, a few thunderstorms épisodes brought enough rain to allow the maturation of the grapes to continue. The harvest started early september with an excellent sanitary level of the grapes. Vinification : after a mild pressing, this wine was vinified and aged for 10 to 14 months in oak casks in our cellars of the XVth century. Moderate proportion of new oak.

Tasting : Bright gold colour. Delicate floral fragrances mixed with pale fleshed fruit aromas on a hint of minerality; Well-balanced and well-structured. Deep texture. Long and spicy finish.

Food pairing : Seafood, fish grilled or "en sauce" as well as some mild cheeses.
