Pernand-Vergelesses "Les Belles Filles" (White)

Origine

Located 6 km north of Beaune, this village is tucked away on the Corton hillside between Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-Les-Beaune. “Les Belles Filles” sits on the eastern slopes of Pernand-Vergelesses.

Vinification

After a light crushing, the grapes are transferred to the pneumatic press where they undergo a pressing that lasts around two and a half hours. The juice is then transferred to vats at a temperature of 8°C where it spends two days to eliminate the solids (settling).

Aged on the lees for 10-12 months in oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Natural malolactic fermentation.

Notes de dégustation

Mineral notes typical of the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation and even more so of the “Belles Filles” climat. Elegance and finesse with lingering notes of citrus and white flowers.
