Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos Berthet Monopole Domaine Dubreuil Fontaine 2023
13.5%

Intensity
As delicious in its youth as it is after ten years in the cellar, this wine has a subtle balance between fullness and a great minerality.
More infoDomaine Dubreuil-Fontaine has been in the Côte de Beaune for five generations, producing great wines from wonderful Premier and Grand Cru appellations. In the hands of Christine Dubreuil and her daughter Clémentine, they give us this white Pernand-Vergelesses from the Clos Berthet Premier Cru, which is owned entirely by the estate and has a home in the ‘Sous Frétille’ climat. The Chardonnay grapes used for this cuvée benefit from ideal exposure to the west and are harvested by hand. This allows for precise and rigorous sorting prior to traditional vinification in oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation and bâtonnage (stirring of the lees) give body and character to the wine, characteristics which are then reinforced by ageing for ten months to a year in oak barrels, of which 25% are new.
Pale in colour, the wine is intense and persistent, with lovely citrus and salty notes. There is plenty of tension and a great deal of minerality. This wine should be enjoyed between three and ten years of age.
