Louis Jadot, Domaine Gagey, Pernand-Vergelesses , Les Combottes, Burgundy, France, 2015

Pernand Vergelesses is a beautiful small village, tucked away behind the hill of Corton, and besides being worth a visit, offers an excellent source of affordable fine white Burgundy. This blend from different sites is a lovely introduction to its wines, minerality, citrus and peach notes, scattering of nuts and balance, it is all there.

A perfect example of how scintillating aged White Burgundy can be, having been stored in perfect conditions at the Domaine and only recently released it’s still full of verve and energy breathing “je ne sais quoi” into the notes of macadamia nut, marzipan, baked banana bread and lemon curd.
