The 1.5 hectare Clos is surrounded by a wall and is a monopole of the domaine. It is planted with 1 hectare of chardonnay that is classed as a 1er cru and 0.5 hectares of pinot noir that is only classed as a villages as there’s no AOC for red 1er here. The vines have been in the family since 1969/70 and were rented by them even before that, and the average age is about 40 years. Christine says that this wine is more mineral than the ‘Sous Frétille’ and, hence, more typical of white Pernand-Vergelesses. There is an intense core of fruit on the nose that is also reflect on the palate. Perhaps a little riper than the ‘Sous Frétille’ but it shows a lovely minerality in the mid-palate. A lovely wine.

Medium colour. The aromas are sof soft red/black fruit and a floral note – perhaps peony. Fills your mouth quite well and there’s a stricking bitter chocolate aftertaste. Unpresumptuous and very tasty.
