Pernand-Vergelesses
1er Cru Sous Frétille
The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a heathy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.
Vineyard
This Sous Frétille terroir is located at the top of the hillside in the village of Pernand-Vegelesses, under the protection of the Virgin "Notre Dame de Bonne Espérance" which overlooks it (a quiet place where walkers go with pleasure in good weather to admire the panorama). Sous Frétille is located a stone's throw from Corton-Charlemagne.

Tasting
Tasting note
Strong personality for this wine which expresses both all the subtleties of limestone (candied lemon, bergamot, saline and iodine), but also notes of white and fruity flowers (especially citrus).
Food pairings
It goes well with goat's cheese and almond crostini, a chanterelle tart or even pan-fried turbot.
