Domaine Delarche Pernand Vergelesses ‘Les Combottes’ Blanc ‘23

Etienne Delarche Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc ‘Les Combottes’ is a beautifully precise white Burgundy from an underrated village in the Côte de Beaune. Grown on limestone-rich slopes just around the corner from Corton-Charlemagne, this Chardonnay offers vibrant acidity and refined depth. Aromas of crushed stone, lemon zest, green apple, and poached pear lead into a mineral-driven palate with white peach, baked pear, and a touch of spice. Handcrafted in small quantities by the Delarche family, this wine balances creamy texture with fresh, linear structure. Aged in neutral oak for one year, it’s an elegant, terroir-expressive bottle that rivals much pricier whites. Enjoy it now through 2030 with seafood, light salads, or soft cheeses.
