Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
With such a large holding in this Premier Cru (2.55 hectares), the domaine have turned part of their acreage over to Chardonnay. A cooler site with clay limestone soils, this wine always tends towards a floral and elegant expression of this grape variety. Open and pretty, this wine shows bright notes of lemon curd and yellow plums with additional complexity coming from hints of both white blossom and toasted almond. The creamy texture of the palate is lifted by vibrant, stone-inflected acidity and a lovely touch of spiciness on the very finish.
Region
Pernand Vergelesses
With its neighbours, Ladoix Serrigny and Aloxe-Corton, Pernand Vergelesses has its own village and premier cru appellations but shares the two grand crus: Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay. The limestone marl soil is well-suited to growing Chardonnay and the resulting white wines are crisp and mineral with a good capacity for ageing. Pinot Noir is planted in areas of redder iron-rich soil and the best vineyards produce charmingly soft red wines with classic notes of raspberries and violets.
