Description
Chanson Pernand-Vergelesses Ier Cru Les Caradeux is pale in colour. Aromas of minerals that are subtle due to its youth. Taut and precise with salty notes on the palet. A sappy wine true for its terroir.
This vineyard of 1.90 hectare is ideally located on mid-slope close to the hill of Corton-Charlemagne. It has the same soil structure (Marly limestone with silt of clay) and height as its famous neighbour. The only difference is the East exposure of the “Caradeux” which makes of this plot an exceptional “terroir” providing unique mineral characteristics. After a cold winter and a mild spring, the weather conditions in summer (with important differences of temperature between day and night from August onwards) were ideal and enabled a perfect maturation of the grapes. The harvest took place mid September under a bright sunshine. The white wines develop aromas of exotic fruit mixed with floral fragrances. Aging in oak casks during 11 months.
