Domaine Etienne Delarche Les Combottes Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc 2020
It’s easy to miss the petite hamlet of Pernand-Vergelesses, hiding behind bulk of the noble Corton hill. Yet this Côte de Beaune village, with its impeccable vineyards, is a treasure trove of refined Burgundy wines.
For more than three generations, the Delarche family has crafted authentic, earthy and expressive Burgundy in Pernand, much under the radar of the Burgundy cognoscenti. Yet Delarche Burgundy offers a clarity and purity of flavor that is captivating; whites are creamy and concentrated, taking a cue from Corton-Charlemagne.
The vineyard’s high perch above the petite village of Pernand delivers a chiseled, dazzling white Burgundy full of tension, peachy fruit and mineral energy.
