Pierre Meurgey Pernand Vergelesses 2020
Pierre Meurgey, a fourth-generation winemaker, continues his family's legacy in Burgundy with this Pernand-Vergelesses 2020. Sourced from the Côte de Beaune sub-region, this wine exemplifies the unique terroir of Pernand-Vergelesses, a village renowned for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Pale lemon and lime hues.
- Nose: A powerful bouquet featuring notes of bacon fat, indicative of its maturation process, despite the absence of new oak.
- Palate: Concentrated crisp white fruit flavors with an unusual weight for a Pernand-Vergelesses, finishing with a hint of licorice.
Food Pairing:
This Chardonnay pairs well with poultry dishes, such as roasted chicken or turkey, and complements creamy sauces and soft cheeses.
Vintage Quality:
The 2020 vintage in Burgundy is considered excellent, producing wines with remarkable balance and aging potential.
Accolades:
- Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "Quite a powerful bouquet with a little bacon fat... Unusual weight for Pernand-Vergelesses, with a lick of licorice to finish."
