2002 Pernand-Vergelesses (Blanc) 1er Cru Sous Frétille, Antonin Guyon
Appearance: medium gold.
Nose: immediate lemon fruits with classic buttery aromas from the malolactic fermentation and subtle French oak.
Palate: lovely fruit which is leaner than you'd typically get on Meursault, for example, helped by fine acidity and good length. Oak is non-intrusive.
Conclusion: Pernand-Vergelesses is something of an overlooked Burgundian village, no doubt because it is tucked around the corner of the famous hill of Corton and Corton-Charlemagne. Guyon is a reliable, experienced producer and this wine was drinking beautifully. Might benefit from modest ageing, however.
Rating: 17.5/20
