Sitting up in the angle where the Corton Charlemagne vineyards meet the village of Pernand-Vergelesses is a vineyard called 'Sous Fretilles'.
And the locals know all about it!
It's not technically a Charlemagne, but it's one of those very few vineyards that comes close! It's an insiders' wine, par excellence.
Classic white Burgundy And dare I say....affordable?
6 PACK of WHITE Jean Jacques Girard Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru 'Sous Fretilles' 2022
On the nose, white floral notes, citrus fruits, green apple, pear, hints of stone fruits, nuanced and delicate. A distinct mineral character that speaks to the great whites of the Corton mountain, with good acidity. A lively, freshness that also hints at aging possibilities.The balance in fruit and acidity gives this Sous Fretilles great structure, and a touch of oak brings that structure to a long and elegant finish.
