Pernand Vergelesses Blanc 2022

The 2022 Pernand Vergelesses Blanc from Philippe Charlopin demonstrates the distinctive character of this cooler appellation on the west-facing slopes near the hill of Corton.

The nose is bright and precise, offering fresh citrus and white orchard fruits, enhanced by subtle floral notes and a pronounced mineral character typical of the site's limestone-rich soils. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural freshness preserved by Pernand's cooler microclimate.

On the palate, the wine displays good tension and energy, with vibrant acidity balancing the ripe fruit core. The texture is focused and linear, with mineral elements providing structure and lift. The west-facing exposure contributes to the wine's precision, while the warmth of 2022 brings welcome ripeness. The finish is clean and persistent, with citrus and stone notes carrying through.

This wine captures both the distinctive character of Pernand Vergelesses for white wines and Charlopin's ability to craft wines of freshness and clarity.
