P. Dubreuil-Fontaine Père et Fils — one of our flagship Burgundy producers — was established in 1879; five generations later, it is managed by Christine Gruère-Dubreuil, and her husband, Nicolas Gruère, along with their daughter, Clementine, who has officially joined her mother in the vineyards and cellar. Superb winemaking tradition and an intense love of their land has enabled the estate to rise to epic status, using the family motto, “Pleasure and passion carry on…” as a guideline for success. This family has spent nearly a century and a half chasing perfection, and that fact is beautifully evident in each new vintage from this unforgettable estate.
Dubreuil-Fontaine's Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes fermented in half oak barrels and half stainless steel vats and aged for 10-12 months in 50% oak barrels (10% new) and 50% steel tanks. Fresh, light citrus aromas blend with almond, walnut and a touch of vanilla. There is a wonderful flinty mineral presence intertwined with pure orchard fruits on the mid-palate. The wine coats your mouth with a smooth, lemon-meringue flavor mixed with a light nuttiness that carries through to a long, savory finish and makes your mouth water for another sip. Beautifully balanced, this is textbook Pernand-Vergelesses, and can be enjoyed now or aged anywhere from 2 - 10 years. It is also extremely versatile with food, perfect with baked cod and vegetables, steamed lobster or a classic roast chicken.
