The variety of the reputed white wines of Burgundy : Chardonnay.
Terroir
The “Clos du Village”, right in the heart of the village, only a few meters from the church, and hidden from view by beautiful dry-stone walls, is exclusively harvested by our estate, having the monopoly. In this enclosure the Chardonnay thrives splendidly, protected from the wind and benefiting from a gentle slope, a shallow soil and an exceptional exposure.
Origine du nom
The name Pernand possibly stems from the Gallic nanto, “stream, valley”, preceded either by the Latin base petra, “stone”, or the Gallic petru, “four”. Pernand can then be the village of the four valleys.
Vinification
We bring in the grapes in small crates to keep them intact. The pressing is carried out with a pneumatic press which is less damaging to the grapes. The whole grapes are placed in the press and the pressing lasts for two hours. After 24 hours’ settling at low temperatures, the grape juice is transferred into barrels to ferment, the proportion of new barrels being 25%. Ageing on lees with stirring lasts until July and the wine is bottled after 12 months of ageing.
Notes de dégustation
The wines are fruity and present a high level of aromatic richness. They are rich, powerful. You can enjoy them with great pleasure in their youth or keep them for two to five years.
Accords mets & vins
Le Clos du Village is perfect with fine fish like basses, breams, Saint-Pierre, white meat, traditional dishes like blanquette de veau (veal ragout) or an andouillette prepared à la Bourguignonne. Exciting combination with young Comté.
