Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc 2024

An elegant, terroir-driven white Burgundy from Pernand-Vergelesses, made from 100% Chardonnay. The grapes come from high-altitude parcels around Pernand-Vergelesses and are hand-harvested, with gentle pressing for clean aromatics. Fermentation is partly in steel tanks and partly in used French oak barrels, followed by 8-10 months on the lees for texture and complexity. It shows green apple, citrus, white flowers and a hint of almond, with a precise palate of lime, minerality, fresh stone fruit and subtle oak. The finish is long and chalky.
