2006 Dubreuil-Fontaine Pernand-Vergelesses Clos Berthet

By on February 28, 2009 #asides

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, medium-plus colour. The nose goes much deeper than the ‘Clos Berthet’ and shows a darker fruit complexion. There’s much more concentration and structure here and the breath of flavour seems much wider. Again a hint of chocolate on the decent length. Very nice.

MOre compact but denser aromatics – rather impresses. There’s real depth here and the fruit has a sweeter profile. Quite understated structure but good balance. Super.

Medium, medium-plus colour. Aromatically tight fruit over a mineral base. Smooth, no real fat, yet concentrated. Understated tannin that has a minor edge of astringency. Overal a little plush and very lovely.
