Very pale yellow. Herbaceous notes fill the glass accompanied by soy beans, lime and green apple. Light and fresh, it cleanses the mouth with its affirmed acidity and bright fruit. Great with a tuna sandwich, right now.
Opens with floral scent together with opulent citrus, passion fruit and tropical fruit on the nose and similarly exuberant flavours in the mouth. Signature mineral and refreshing acidity get a bit lost in the mix. 13.5% alcohol underlines the atypical character of this abnormally ripe vintage.
Very pale yellow. Almost muted nose, with only hints of floral scents and a mineral whiff. Not completely dry, a trace of CO2 energizes the fatty mid-palate. Lovely finish of good length. Easy to drink now, but it can hold for 3 to 5 years.
Shows bright floral and tropical scents with a distinctive whiff of pine, shifting to ripe green tropical fruit backed by fresh acidity and an intriguing briny note on the finish.
Lovely matchstick and flint leads out this Pernand-Vergelesses, from Clos du Moulin aux Moines, started by monks in the 10th Century, and purchased most recently by the Andrieu family in 2008, who have converted the farming to biodynamic. The youngest vines in Les Combottes vineyard are around 40 years old, sloping off Corton Charlemagne, with similar soils (white marl on clay-limestone). The wines are lifted with mineral salts, lemon blossom and pine nuts, very well grounded by a bed of lees. A finessed beauty now, and will cellar very well in the short and longer term.
Aromatic floral scent with smoky, grassy herbal and passion-fruit notes shift to mixed gooseberry and passion-fruit flavours supported by chalky mineral and crisp acidity on the drying finish. Lightly sweet fruit reflects the warm 2015 vintage.
Silky, fresh and elegant with cherry, earth and pepper, the wine glides across the palate and possesses a lifted, refreshing finish. Chill it slightly to make it even more refreshing.
