Description
The village of Pernand-Vergelesses is located just 3km from Aloxe-Corton and of all the villages that the Grand Cru hill of Corton looks over, this is the most picturesque. The parcel "En Caradeux", located mid-slope and exposed to the East, faces the hill of Corton. These vines are worked traditionally by the winemakers of Domaine Louis Latour. The soil is stony, over a bedrock of marl and flinty limestone that gives this terroir its distinctive character.

Tasting Notes
Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "En Caradeux" is pale yellow in color with a powerful bouquet. It is rich on the palate, with grilled almond aromas. The wine is rich and round and very balanced with a certain tension on the finish. The oak is nicely mellow and the wine has very nice length. A very pretty wine that is already very approachable.
