The Premier Cru 'Clos de la Croix de Pierre' is powerful, perfectly well-structured and also silky. It releases very fruity aromas (small blackberries). It lingers in the mouth with tannins presenting a certain softness.
VINEYARDS: The Pernand-Vergelesses vineyard neighbours those of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. On both sides of a ridge, it is divided between east, south and west facing aspects, at a height of between 260 and 380 metres. The 'Clos de la Croix de Pierre' is situated on the Premier Cru 'En Caradeux'. It faces east, not far from the village of Pernand. The soil is mainly chalky with small pebbles on the surface. It takes its name from a large stone cross situated at the edge of the area.
VINTAGE: A season of extreme summer temperatures and one of the hottest and sunniest on record which led to lower yields. However, whilst yields are low, the quality and concentration is outstanding, with wines of great character.
WINEMAKING: The alcoholic fermentation took place in vats for an average of 3 weeks and the wine was then aged in oak barrels for 15 months.
