2022 Henri Clerc Pernand-Vergelesses

This refined white Burgundy captures the essence of Pernand-Vergelesses with purity, precision, and unmistakable terroir expression. Pale straw in the glass with flashes of green, it opens with a delicate bouquet of lemon zest, white peach, and green apple, framed by subtle notes of crushed stone, hazelnut, and a hint of fresh brioche.

On the palate, the wine is focused and mineral-driven, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit balanced by a fine thread of acidity. A discreet touch of oak lends gentle structure and adds dimension with hints of toasted almond and light spice. The finish is long, saline, and graceful, echoing the wine’s tension and finesse.

Elegant yet quietly powerful, the 2022 Henri Clerc Pernand-Vergelesses is drinking beautifully now, but will reward 5–8 years of cellaring as it gains in complexity and depth with time.
