Pernand-Vergelesses Sous Frétille 1er Cru

Information

Description

Dubreuil-Fontaine's Sous Frétille Premier Cru is a Chardonnay from the upper slope at Pernand-Vergelesses, facing southeast. Its clay-limestone soils consist mainly of white marl. Hand-harvested, selected grapes ferment in oak and complete malolactic fermentation; maturation uses barrels and egg-shaped concrete vessels. A golden-yellow colour accompanies a floral nose and a yellow-fruit palate that is fresh yet generous, with acidity and a taut finish. Fish terrines, salmon rillettes, scallops and chicken in a cream sauce are suggested accompaniments for this white wine from the Frétille hillside.
