Description
Domaine Jean Féry & Fils is a highly respected, organically certified family estate, and their Pernand-Vergelesses 'Les Combottes' is a brilliant showcase of Côte de Beaune Chardonnay. Situated near the majestic hill of Corton, the village of Pernand-Vergelesses is celebrated for its cooler microclimate and limestone-rich soils. The 'Les Combottes' vineyard, nestled in a sheltered valley, is particularly renowned for yielding white wines of remarkable tension, elegance, and mineral drive.
The 2023 vintage perfectly captures the pedigree of this exceptional terroir. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant pale gold hue, leading into an inviting and complex bouquet. Aromas of crisp orchard apple, white peach, and citrus blossom are seamlessly interwoven with delicate notes of toasted hazelnut and a touch of subtle, well-integrated oak. On the palate, the wine is beautifully structured, balancing a vibrant, mouth-watering acidity with a rounded, textured mouthfeel. Flavours of lemon zest and stone fruit give way to a striking, chalky minerality that drives the long, precise finish.
Elegant and refreshing, this is a sophisticated white Burgundy that drinks beautifully now but possesses the balance to evolve further. It pairs exceptionally well with roasted poultry, creamy mushroom dishes, or rich seafood.
