Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin : The plot of Pernand Vergelesses Les Combottes is located in an area that shares geological characteristics with Corton Charlemagne, one of the region's most famous terroirs. The soil, mainly limestone andclay, is ideal for producing white wines that combine freshness and minerality. This terroir also benefits from asouth-easterly exposure, allowing the grapes to benefit from optimal sunshine, thus favoring perfect ripening.

The nose is delicate and expressive, combining aromas of white flowers, fresh fruit such as pear and white peach, and a beautiful minerality that bears witness to the limestone structure of the terroir. Hints of lemon enrich the bouquet, bringing freshness and vitality to the whole.
