Domaine Pierre Marey et Fils
2012 Pernand-Vergelesses
A smooth and floral everyday Chardonnay. Great for light entertaining or sitting down with an evening meal.
A rich, expressive nose characterized by citrus notes—blood orange rind comes to mind—and ripe grapey scents with suggestions of wood and fresh tatami mat. Distant, dusky floral hints as well. Less opulent than some white Burgundies, but has presence—its own kind of quiet power—along with elegance and delicacy. Beautiful, long, lingering acid on the finish makes this wine seductive and already drinkable, but likely to improve with more time in bottle.
Food pairing: Crab, lobster, seafood stew, grilled herbed fish
Attractive and clean, with chalky minerality, sweet spice, oak, and citrus notes. Energizing acidity and layered minerality provide a crisp frame for lively fruit, while an almost chewy texture gives this tasty, medium-bodied wine real presence. This wine is singing!
Food pairing: roast chicken
The Creator of This Wine
Domaine Pierre Marey et Fils
A well-kept secret. For seven generations. That is the best way to describe Domaine Pierre Marey et Fils. Finding it requires venturing high to the top of the small town of Pernand-Vergelesses, where it sits neatly tucked on each side of a steep winding street. We have found it well worth the effort.
