Jean-Baptiste Boudier Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru 'Sous Fretille' Blanc '23

This Premier Cru white wine shimmers with a brilliant gold color. The nose is rich and inviting, unfolding with classic aromas of yellow apple, ripe peach, toasted hazelnut, and a touch of buttered brioche. On the palate, it is broad and creamy, showcasing a luxurious, rounded texture that is perfectly balanced by a firm line of citrus-driven acidity. Layers of stone fruit, lemon curd, and a pronounced stony minerality unfold with grace and power. This wine is barrel-fermented and aged on its lees in French oak, a traditional approach that builds the textural richness and complexity expected from a Premier Cru site. Earning 93 points for its depth and class, it is a magnificent pairing for lobster, grilled sea bass, or poultry in a cream sauce.
