Domaine Chanson Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru En Caradeux 2022, Burgundy, France

Grape Variety: Chardonnay. Soil: Marly limestone with silt of clay. Site: This vineyard of 1.90 hectare is ideally located on mid-slope close to the hill of Corton-Charlemagne. Same soil structure and height as its famous neighbor. The only difference is the East exposure of the “Caradeux” which makes of this plot an exceptional “terroir” providing unique mineral characteristics. Vintage 2022: After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. Tasting: Pale gold color. Refreshing aromas of citrus fruit and pale fleshed fruit mixed with appealing toasty bread notes. Well-shaped minerality. Well-balanced and well-structured. Dense and precise texture. Long and refreshing finish with salty tinges.
