Tasting notes
Opulent and generous aromas of lemon confit, fresh pineapple, butter cookies and creme brulee. The palate is dense, textural and balanced, with lovely flavors of fruit and toast and underlying freshness. Excellent value. Drink or hold.

Bitter lemon, crack of smoke. Grippy. Lots of peel oils and pithiness and fragrance and bitterness but also peach flesh underneath. Very ripe and quite warm. Broad shouldered and smoky bones. Peppery finish! (TC)
The 2023 Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc En Caradeux 1er Cru has a powerful nose that does not hold back: peach, wild honey, traces of mango and patisserie. The palate is rounded on the entry with plenty of body and a pleasing texture, although those familiar with the potential of this Premier Cru might miss some complexity and mineralité on the finish. Nevertheless, there is a pleasant tang of lemongrass on the aftertaste, and it should drink well for five or six years.
