Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc 1er Cru, “Sous Frétille”

This vineyard is a relatively recent acquisition by the Rollin family (the 2000 vintage was the first to issue from the domaine) but it is a parcel of old vines in one of the elite lieu-dits of the village. The vineyard is situated on slopes overlooking the village and is just around the corner from Corton Charlemagne.  A powerful wine that benefits from several years of bottle age … only 35 cases per annum are allocated to us for the USA.
