Log in / Sign up Louis Jadot Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru Clos De La Croix De Pierre 2021
Situated near the charming village of Pernand, this vineyard, with its calcareous and stony soil, faces eastward, marked by the prominent Croix de Pierre, a substantial stone cross gracing its entrance. Predominantly planted with Pinot Noir, the grapes undergo fermentation in tanks, followed by a refined maturation process in oak barrels for approximately 15 months, culminating in the crafting of this distinctive wine before bottling.
The main grape variety used for Pernand-Vergelesses Clos de la Croix de Pierre is Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir is renowned for producing elegant, fine red wines and is widely grown in Burgundy.
Serve with red meats, lamb and mild cheeses.
This powerful wine’s ripe black berry aromas develop into supple tannins prior to a long finish. It will develop in the bottle for five to eight years.
The flavours of this wine are typical of red Burgundy wines. There are aromas of red fruit such as cherry, raspberry and redcurrant, as well as notes of undergrowth, spices and sometimes a slight touch of minerality. On the palate, it offers a refined structure with fine tannins and lively acidity.
