The 2021 Louis Jadot Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos La Croix de Pierre is a beautifully structured Premier Cru Burgundy from the northern Côte de Beaune, crafted from Pinot Noir grown on limestone-rich soils near the hill of Corton. Elegant yet powerful, the nose reveals aromas of blackberry, red cherry and raspberry layered with violet, spice, undergrowth and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive depth. Juicy red and dark berry fruits are balanced by savoury spice, minerality and refined oak influence, leading to a long, polished and persistent finish. The style combines the finesse of Burgundy with the structure and concentration expected from a top Premier Cru site.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Burgundy for customers who appreciate elegant, terroir-driven Pinot Noir with savoury detail, fine structure and ageing potential. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, lamb or soft cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar comfortably over the next 8–12 years.
