The Louis Jadot Pernand Vergelesses Clos de la Croix de Pierre 2020 is a sophisticated white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune, crafted from Chardonnay grown in the limestone-rich Clos de la Croix de Pierre vineyard. This 2020 vintage displays a pale gold hue and an elegant nose of ripe pear, lemon curd, and white flowers, with hints of hazelnut and subtle oak. On the palate, it is rich yet balanced, with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a chalky mineral finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine showcases Jadot’s expertise in balancing fruit and oak. It pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy seafood dishes, or aged cheeses, offering a refined dining experience. With good aging potential, it will evolve over the next 8-12 years, developing richer, more nuanced flavors. This wine is a stellar example of Pernand-Vergelesses’ potential for world-class Chardonnay.
