Technical Details
Description
The village of Pernand-Vergelesses is located just 3km from that of Aloxe-Corton and of all the villages that the Grand Cru hill of Corton looks over, this is the most picturesque. The parcel "En Caradeux", located mid-slope and exposed to the East, faces the hill of Corton. These vines are worked traditionally by the winemakers of Domaine Louis Latour. The soil is stony and the basement is composed of marl and flint limestone which gives the typical particularity of this terroir.

Tasting notes
Our Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "En Caradeux" 2014 shows a nice pale yellow colour. The nose is gourmet and reveals almond, vanilla and floral notes. On the palate, it is ample and round with brioche aroma and a mineral finish.
