Pernand-Vergelesses Chardonnay 2021

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 2021 : After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on September 13. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the white wines are well-balanced, precise and refreshing.

Tasting : Pale gold colour. Floral fragrances mixed with citrus fruit and toasty bread. Well-shaped minerality. Well-balanced and well-crafted. Dense and precise texture. Long and refreshing finish with salty tinges.

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