🏰 Maison Champy, Burgundy's oldest wine merchant founded in 1720, presents their Pernand-Vergelesses 2023. This is a white wine, 100% Chardonnay, from vineyards covering the hilly slopes of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. The 2023 vintage is described as having a pale golden color with hints of silver, offering good aromatic intensity. The nose reveals notes of white flowers, citrus, and wild mint, complemented by a mineral touch. On the palate, it is frank, fresh, elegant, harmonious, and rich, with a long and persistent finish. Some critics highlight its 【 incredible intensity of wild herb aromas and astonishing depth 】 for the appellation, with a spot-on interplay of richness, minerality, and smoky character. It's noted for its concentration and textural complexity, often compared to Grand Cru wines. The wine is vinified and aged in 15th-century cellars, awarded Living Heritage status. 🍴 This elegant white Burgundy pairs beautifully with poultry in white sauce, pasta with shellfish, or poached trout. It also harmonizes well with grilled fish marinated with herbs, sole meunière, salmon tartare with dill, or sea bass with fennel. For cheeses, opt for goat cheeses like Banon or sheep's milk cheese. Chicken and turkey are also excellent pairings. 🥂 Perfect for a refined dinner, a celebratory meal, or an occasion where a sophisticated and mineral-driven white wine is desired. It can be enjoyed now through 2029, with some suggesting it can cellar until around 2033.
