2022 Domaine Rollin Pere & Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc Les Cloux

Les Cloux is a well-situated vineyard on the north side of the hill of Corton, adjacent to the premier cru Sous Fretille (see below). It faces southeast on a high, steep part of the hillside, and a general lack of direct breeze there fosters notable ripeness. The wine possesses a lower-pitched, riper nose than the basic Pernand-Vergelesses above, but with an equivalent limestone intensity. The palate is thicker as well, but suffused with the scintillating acidity typical of the Rollin style. Only 20% of the oak is new.
