2022 Domaine Rollin Pernand-Vergelesses BlancA consistently formidable wine that is sourced from four separate vineyard sites within the boundaries of Pernand. The average age of the vines (as of 2011) is approximately 35 years. A classic representation of the taste of Pernand with its intense minerality, hints of fennel and honey and broad shouldered appearance. Aged on its lees for twelve months and bottled without filtration, it is particularly ageworthy.
