Pernand Vergelesses, Sous Frétille, 1er Cru, 2020

The cooling winds that come from the combe really benefit the Sous Fretille vineyard in vintages such as 2020 and the wine immediately displays greater dimension and finesse than the villages. Long fine citrus fruit, a touch of peachy ripeness, delicate cream and deliciously fresh acidity make this a joy to taste. Great purity of fruit and the finest of textures imbue this with real touch of X factor. From three parcels within this fine, south-facing vineyard, perched at the top of a small hill adjacent to Corton.
