Pernand-Vergelesses Les Combottes Blanc 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This 4-acre site lies in the cooler, Western sector of the village on a gentle slope. This site tends to amplify the typical Pernand blanc stony reserve, with lively acidity and tension, and a firmly structured, medium-weight wine. This white is both charming and remarkably versatile with a subtle delicacy ideally experienced soon after release.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began with dry weather on September 13th, and the small yields arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
Led by tangy citrus skin notes and a wet stone undertone, this medium-bodied white is both lively and long on the palate. Bone dry and pleasantly tart.
