Pernand-Vergelesses, Sous Frétille, 1er Cru, 2012

Richer and more concentrated than usual, stony and mineral as ever. Packed with crushed stone, flint, butter and citrus characteristics. Very intense and sophisticated, this will need a bit of time to unwind, such is its depth. Aged in 20% new oak for 12 months. From three parcels within this fine, south-facing vineyard, perched at the top of a small hill adjacent to Corton.
