Unique Mediterranean-Burgundian winemaking from good pals Paul Perarnau (the farmer) and Willy Roulendes (the vigneron). The grapes are harvested from two certified organic parcels, one situated below the famed Puligny-Montrachet and one in the Southernmost region of Côte de Beaune, Maranges.
Pernand-Vergelesses organic Chardonnay, distinguished by its freshness and balance. It reveals a golden colour and delicate aromas of white fruits, accompanied by a subtle minerality. No other region in the world is as praised for its ancient knowledge of terroir passed down by monks centuries ago.
Saint-Romain in Cote de Beaune is the foot of a high cliff with enough elevation to look out over a wide stretch of countryside. Soils are from the earliest epoch of the Jurassic period, consisting of shales and limestones rich in fossils as old as 208 million years. The white wines are pale gold with green tinges. Its nose ranges through lime and white flowers with mineral grace notes. Classic for fish.
The plot is in a site called Dessus Bon Boire, a southern slope facing east, with Jurassic limestone subsoil (Kimmeridgian, Portlandian). The wine is aged for 12 months in 350L barrels, then 6 months blended in vats. A round and delicious wine.
From the producer: The vines are planted in the commune of Igé in the Mâconnais region...This Mâcon-Villages has a pretty pale gold hue. Very perfumed nose of spring flowers and orchard fruits (pear, vineyard peach). The palate is rich, powerful, and well-structured.
"Warm stone fruit, spiced citrus blend with notes of cedar and hints of nutmeg. The finish is round and nutty with beautiful length and concentration."
