Domaine Pavelot Pernand-Vergelesses 'Sous Frétille' 1er Cru 2021

Producer:
It is only a matter of time before Domaine Pavelot, familiar and craftsman in its structure, begins to transit among Burgundy connoisseurs. The seventh generation, Luc & Lise, is responsible for the evolution of this surprising domaine at Pernand-Vergelesses, which produces whites and reds with equal capacity to move us. The inspiration to achieve excellence was also fueled by experiences outside Burgundy: Luc worked in California, at Navarro Vineyards, and Lise at the spectacular Domaine Dagueneau, in the Loire.

Wine:
0.95 hectares of vines that are over 50 years old on slopes with exceptional exposure, to the south and southwest, located behind and above the village. The soils are thinly layered and marked by small pebbles and composed of clay deposits on a base of marl and limestone.  Grapes harvested by hand and fermented in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. It is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 40% new, and a small part in stainless steel. Élevage finishes in stainless steel for 6 months. 

Classy, ​​just the right amount of fruit and a lot of terroir in this incredible discovery of ours. One of the best wines from this amazing, small and unknown domaine. The premier cru Sous Frétille has perfect exposure, which brings a lot of power to this wine, but the shade caused by its position behind the hill of Corton mitigates the effects of the morning sun and evokes a great freshness in this glorious wine. The well-crafted texture is displayed in the mouth with creaminess, which is soon cut by an enormous electric charge of vibrant acidity that carries pure calcareous marna.
