Pernand-Vergelesses Rouge 1er Cru Clos Berthet 2023

A 1er Cru Pinot Noir from Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine, made from hand-harvested grapes from the Clos Berthet parcel in Pernand-Vergelesses, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. The grapes are vinified with gentle maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation, then aged for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels for balance between fruit, structure and complexity. The soils are limestone and clay. The nose shows ripe red berries, cherry, forest berries, light spice and discreet floral tones. The palate is full and elegant with concentrated fruit, balanced acidity and refined tannins. The mouthfeel is medium to full, with silky tannins and a long, complex finish.
