The Olivier Leflaive Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille 2022 Magnum is a Chardonnay with great personality, produced from the renowned Premier Cru vineyard of Pernand-Vergelesses. Located on the upper slopes near Corton-Charlemagne, this particular terroir, with its stony limestone marl soil, lends the wine a marked mineral tension and an elegant, precise character. Aromatically, it is distinguished by its complexity, showcasing notes of candied lemon, bergamot, and white flowers, along with salty and iodine nuances that capture the chalky character of the soil. On the palate, it is vibrant, well-structured, and with defined acidity, offering an enveloping texture and a fresh profile that blends citrus fruits with elegant minerality. Additionally, its aging of about 12 months in barrel adds depth and balance without losing the purity of Chardonnay. The Magnum format not only favors a more complex and slow evolution but is also ideal for storage and special occasions. This gastronomic wine is perfect for pairing with fine fish, seafood, mushrooms, or goat cheese.
