Tasting notes
The 2017 Pernand-Vergelesses Clos de la Croix de Pierre, a second white Village Cru from Jadot, is showing more wood influence on the nose, but behind that I feel there is more complexity compared to its sibling, the Pernand-Vergelesses Combottes. The palate has a slightly waxy-textured entry, and a dab of lemongrass leaves the tongue tingling. The finish is well defined and quite persistent. Enjoy this over the next five to six years.

Aromas of sliced lemons, strawberries and flowers. Medium-bodied, tight and focused with bright acidity and a clean finish. Shows focus and finesse. Drink now.
Aromas of cassis, wild berries and peony introduce the 2017 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos de la Croix de Pierre (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a medium to full-bodied wine that's ample, fleshy and succulent, with melting tannins and a nicely delineated finish.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
