The 2022 Pernand Vergelesses Blanc Les Cloux has a crisp, flinty bouquet—strict and almost Chablis-like in style. The palate is well defined with a fine bead of acidity and flecks of quince and nectarine, perhaps tapering in slightly toward the finish. This is a classy Pernand-Vergelesses that is likely to represent great value. Tasted at merchants' 2022 Burgundy tastings in London. - Neal Martin, Vinous

Pernand-Vergelesses comes from the lieux-dits of Sur Herbeux and Sous Le Bois de Noel et Belles Filles (.8 hectares in total) — vines were planted in the 1980s.

Domaine Cornu-Camus is now run by their daughter Lydia, a trained oenologist with a Master’s in Biology. She joined the effort in 2007, followed a couple years later by her husband, Christophe Pertuzot, who brought both some Chorey-les-Beaune “Les Beaumonts” as well as experience with the esteemed Domaine Leroy. Embracing sustainable and organic farming principles within a lutte raisonnée framework, they take a low-intervention tack in the cellar, allowing the inherent qualities of the fruit and the nuance of the terroir to shine in finessed Pinot Noirs.

92 Points! Lots of redcurrant fruit, with notes of blood orange, tobacco leaf and sage. Sleek, focused and racy, this is a forthright expression of cool climate Burgundy that some may find a bit challenging, but which excites us. Lots of candied citrus and some dried cranberries at the structured finish. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com
