2021 Domaine Yvon Clerget Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières

Domaine Yvon Clerget has a rich tradition in Burgundy dating back to the 17th century. The estate was revived by Thibaud Clerget, a young and dynamic winemaker who has been at the helm since 2015. Thibaud strives for purity and precision in his wines. He works with minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar to fully express the characteristics of the terroir.

Les Perrières is one of the most prestigious premier cru vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet. The name "Perrières" refers to the stony, chalky soil that contributes to the minerality and finesse of the wine.
Terroir: The soil is rich in limestone, ideal for the production of refined Chardonnay. The location on the southern slopes offers optimal sun exposure and cool nights, which ensures perfect ripening of the grapes.

The wine is fermented and matured in French oak barrels, of which approximately 20-25% is new wood. This adds a subtle spiciness and structure without overpowering the fruit. Thibaud Clerget uses natural yeasts and works with great attention to detail to preserve the expression of the terroir

Colour: Light golden yellow with a bright sheen.
Nose: Elegant aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon and lime), ripe apple, pear and subtle notes of hazelnut and vanilla.
Taste: The wine offers a wonderful balance between freshness, power and refinement. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and a subtle minerality are supported by a lively acidity and a silky texture.
Finish: Long and complex, with notes of toasted almonds and a refreshing minerality.

The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Perrières' goes well with:
- Luxurious fish dishes such as turbot or sea bass.
- Shellfish, such as lobster or scallops in a creamy sauce.
- Poultry with a subtle lemon or butter sauce.
