Domaine vines.
Yes! A fine aromatic of Pernand vibration - lovely! Gas here - but cool, fresh, silky wine that's more direct. Stony finishing with a suggestion of the barrel - delicious, super wine - and you won't have to wait as long to enjoy this one - simply excellent wine!

Lemon curd, white peach, apple and mineral flvors permeate this sleek, juicy and fresh white, with well-integrated baking spice accents lingering courtesy of the refreshing acidity. Drink now. (USA, April 2024)

A pretty, cushioned, perfumed nose - very inviting. A more structural shape - open, mouth-filling with a small frame of tannin in this texture too. An impressive finishing intensity that you can almost chew! Keep 3 years before testing - but this is super. Domaine vines. In bottle a few days from only 8 hl/ha. Elevage in 1-year-old barrels.

Be adventurous and forget the complexity of the name! This white Burgundy is intensely flinty and chalky with pronounced spice, which interlocks beautifully with the vibrant acidity on the quite sleek palate, creating a lot of excitement. Very long, almost explosively refreshing finish. Drink or hold.

Nicely layered aromas consist of petrol, citrus
rind and cool apple and pear scents. There is
better detail and notably more minerality to
the delicious medium-bodied flavors that
conclude in a youthfully austere and crisp finale
that is both a bit more complex and persistent.
To enjoy young. 2024+

Why isn't this appellation taken more seriously? A very friendly and appealing white Burgundy, yet with plenty of sophistication. Smoky touch on the nose and a lovely, silky texture, the finish fresh, lemony and mineral. Drink or hold.

A dense, layered white for this appellation with dried apples, ripe pears and cream and lemon-curd undertones. It's full-bodied with enjoyable oiliness. Creamy and persistent. Drink now.

A little more toastiness to the fresh nose. The slightly reductive style of Pernand, more concentrated and mineral than the Beaune - a super finish and the oak is showing much less - despite 30%. This will be super.

A distinctive white, this offers quince, lemon verbena and floral aromas and flavors, allied to a vibrant structure. Focused and long, ending with a hint of quinine.

Light with a hint of green fruit. Drink: 2019 - 2024  (cask sample)

The 2016 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru En Caradeux is another successful white from Louis Latour this year, offering up aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, honeysuckle and pastry cream, followed by a medium-bodied, crisp but fleshy palate with an open-knit, succulent profile and a saline finish. Drink 2018-2024

A good commune this year, the whites especially in this top site. Fine northern fruits shot through with rocky minerals, nicely oaked. - Michael Edwards

Lots of cream and yoghurt character on the nose, plus generous oak and a sharp citric element. Freshly crushed herbs on the finish - mint, basil - then back to the creamy flavours. Drink 2017-2021

2016 Pernand-Vergelesses 1^er Cru En Caradeux Not yet bottled. A toasty, reductive, start to the nose. Too cold, but growing in both volume and complexity - this is really rather good on the palate - lots of interest here, I like very much for its good texture and energy. Lovely wine.

Nose marked by exotic fruits and honey. Ripe fruits on the palate, finish with a good length. A very pleasant wine with its freshness, complexity and minerality.
Pairing: Sole Nantua fillet

A ripe and overtly citrus-infused nose displays additional notes of pear and apple. There is a lovely sense of energy to the lightly stony middle weight flavors that are at once rich and generously proportioned while the finish is almost sweet and sour in that there are hints of bitter lemon and honey. 88/2019+

With a touch of spice from the wood, this wine is full of yellow and apple fruits yet with a cool thread of acidity. It is a lively, bright wine, filled out with fruitiness. Drink from 2017.

There is excellent energy to the more obviously mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that are shaped by a firmer acid spine on the balanced, refreshing and more complex finale.

The first of several 2014s just before dinner. A fine way to start with this fresh and brisk white, that includes richness on the palate. White stone fruit as well as vanilla on this youthful palate leading to a fresh finish. 

A big, bright fresh and open nose. - a very heavily perfumed wine. Lithe and fresh in the mouth with good mid-palate density. Round, Again a very perfumed fruit. (...) The balance and intensity are good. Super length though. (cask sample) By Bill Nanson (UK)

Flint and intense complex notes, a bit of wood evident, but plenty of ripeness. The palate has cool orchard fruits, a lime-like intensity, and a decisive acidity in the finish. Juicy and concentrated. (UK)

Burgundy, France, Dry White, DIAM, 13.5% abv (2016) This vintage has no UK stockists listed, though the 2013 tasted recently is available and scored 91 points. This retains a touch of green to the colour and has a gorgeous nose, suffused with a little crushed almond and oatmeal, a ripe but crisp apple fruitiness and hint of salty minerality. The palate too has a fine marriage of lean, citrus and salt­streaked clarity allied to gentle nuttiness and fine orchard fruit. A delightful white Burgundy.
