Oyster shell, wet stones, fleur de sel and an almost Aligoté-like leesiness. Absence of fruit and nut on the nose; 100% nerve-splitting minerals. Severe and demanding, then yields to a palate of macadamia and clementine. Long, acid and complex finish that hints at what’s coming in 5-6 years. Easily the most intriguing villages-level Pernand Blanc I’ve ever tasted.
