Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
This 4-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines is the family’s pride and joy, and plays an ambassadorial role for the commune of Pernand Vergelesses, much as the hill of Corton does for its namesake appellation. Pretty and engaging notes of red cherry and raspberry are in evidence here, alongside a perfumed hint of violets and a spicy touch of white pepper. Rounded, compact fruit sweetness is held aloft by energetic mineral tension and fine-boned, supple tannin. Although this wine has power and presence, it remains subtle and leaves a lasting impression of elegance and poise.
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.
