White flowers, citrus and fresh minerality. A precise and elegant Pernand-Vergelesses blanc from Domaine Pavelot, fresh, well-balanced and genuinely approachable.
The Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc 2022 from Domaine Pavelot is one of the domaine's most seductive and accessible cuvées, and one of the best value Chardonnays on the Côte de Beaune for those seeking elegance and sincerity without the price constraints of Corton-Charlemagne. This Pernand-Vergelesses blanc from Domaine Pavelot plays the card of refinement and freshness in this vintage. Pair it with delicate dishes such as scallops to bring out its charm; it will shine.
Terroir and vineyard
Pernand-Vergelesses is one of the rare appellations on the Côte de Beaune producing white wines of genuine quality and personality, overshadowed by its illustrious neighbours Meursault, Puligny and Corton-Charlemagne. This village, nestled in a natural valley, benefits from varied exposure and clay-limestone soils that give Chardonnay a natural freshness, mineral tension and aromatic lightness, making it an engaging alternative expression of the greater Côte de Beaune whites. The vineyard spans 10 hectares of vines farmed organically and biodynamically. Fermentations use wild yeasts. Pre-fermentation cold soaking and the use of lightly toasted barrels allow maximum fruit expression. White vinification follows a precise protocol: gentle whole-bunch pneumatic pressing, static settling, slow fermentation in oak casks with a modest proportion of new wood, ageing on fine lees without excessive stirring to preserve the freshness and tension of the variety.
Tasting profile
The colour is pale gold with green reflections, bright and clear. The nose opens to white flowers and almond. A bouquet of great finesse, with aromas of white flowers, linden and spice. Notes of fresh white fruit, pear and green apple, with a light citrus touch complete this floral and mineral ensemble of great delicacy. On the palate, there is good amplitude, with lovely body and a certain liveliness, discreet wood and light citrus notes. The natural acidity of the appellation brings tension and length to a silky and well-balanced structure. The finish is fresh, floral and lightly mineral, with a persistence and purity that confirm Luc and Lise Pavelot's talent for revealing this terroir with constant precision and sincerity. A Chardonnay to drink now in its vivacity, capable of fine evolution over four to six years.
The domaine
Domaine Pavelot is a family wine domaine in Burgundy, based in Pernand-Vergelesses for several generations. Luc and Lise are the seventh generation to run the domaine. Their vineyard spans 10 hectares of vines farmed organically and biodynamically. This is a truly interesting domaine, whose wines are particularly charming while maintaining reasonable prices.
Food pairings
This Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc pairs beautifully with scallops in chive cream, grilled fish with beurre blanc, trout with almonds, sole meunière, asparagus and parmesan risotto or light creamed poultry. It also harmonises well with fresh goat's cheese or aged Chaource. Served between 10 and 12 °C, it will reveal all the floral freshness and mineral finesse of a Côte de Beaune Chardonnay crafted with care and conviction by one of Burgundy's most engaging winemaking families.
