Domaine Clos de la Chapelle Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Fretille 2023 (750ml) *

Chardonnay grows into something taut and mineral in the cooler corners of the Côte de Beaune, and this premier cru bottling from Domaine Clos de la Chapelle comes off the Sous Fretille slope in Pernand-Vergelesses, a village often overlooked in favor of its grander neighbors. The 2023 vintage here is white Burgundy in a classic register, built on the bright acidity and restraint that the appellation is known for rather than on weight or oak.
