The 2023 Louis Jadot Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos La Croix de Pierre is a beautifully refined Premier Cru Burgundy from the northern Côte de Beaune, crafted from Pinot Noir grown on limestone-rich soils near the famed hill of Corton. Elegant and terroir-driven, the nose reveals aromas of raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry layered with floral notes, subtle spice, crushed stone and delicate earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive precision. Juicy red berry fruits, savoury spice and mineral freshness are balanced by finely integrated oak, leading to a long, polished and beautifully persistent finish. The style is energetic and refined, combining classic Burgundian finesse with structure and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Burgundy for customers who appreciate elegant, savoury and terroir-focused Pinot Noir with freshness and finesse rather than overt richness. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, lamb or fine cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar comfortably over the next 8–12 years.
