Pernand Vergelesses, Sous Frétille, 1er Cru, 2009

From three parcels within this fine, south-facing vineyard, richer than the regular Pernand-Vergelesses as you would expect, initially plump and fleshy but soon rediscovering its vivacious terroir character; intense notes of dry stone and mineral together with floral notes of apple blossom, acacia and butter, long fine and gourmand.
