The 2021 Pernand-Vergelesses Clos Berthet 1er Cru has an attractive nose with dried peach skin, honeysuckle and crushed stone. Perhaps it is missing some vigour, yet it has focus. The palate is well balanced and demonstrates more nuance than the Sous Fretille, with bitter lemon mixed with Golden Delicious and a touch of ginger imparting spiciness that particularly comes through on the aftertaste. Very fine.
