2022 Doudet-Naudin Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru
Tasting Notes
A stunning white Burgundy that captures the elegance and mineral-driven character of this renowned premier cru vineyard. In the glass, it gleams with a pale golden hue accented by subtle green reflections, indicating its freshness and precision. The nose is refined and layered, revealing aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, beautifully complemented by floral notes of acacia and hawthorn. Subtle undertones of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, and a touch of flint add depth and complexity, reflecting its exceptional terroir. On the palate, this wine is vibrant and well-balanced, with a silky texture supported by crisp acidity. Flavors of ripe orchard fruits, lemon curd, and a hint of honey are seamlessly integrated with a stony minerality and a whisper of oak influence. The finish is long, clean, and elegantly persistent, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and finesse.
