Dme Folin-Arbelet Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc · 750 ml

If you see Franck Follin’s bottling of Pernand-Vergelesses blanc on offer, don’t dillydally. We only get a few cases, due to a number of factors. For starters, Franck has less than a hectare of this parcel, which is never a vigorous provider. The slope at the base of the hill of Corton is steep and difficult to work, and yields are low and slow to ripen due to a somewhat shady exposition. While this may not sound desirable for a cool climate like Burgundy, in a robust, early ripening and sunny year, the respite is perfect. Ever the racy and mineral cuvée, this wine is all silk and flesh, and a rare village treat from a producer of mainly premier and grand cru wines.
