Barolet-Pernot, Auxey-Dur., Les Clous Blanc – 2022

An elegant expression of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, Barolet-Pernot Auxey-Duresses Les Clous Blanc 2022 showcases the purity, finesse, and mineral character of Chardonnay from this charming appellation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this refined vintage balances vibrant orchard fruit, subtle richness, and lively acidity, offering a beautifully poised white Burgundy with exceptional freshness and terroir-driven character.

Brilliant pale gold in color with delicate green reflections, it opens with expressive aromas of white peach, pear, green apple, and lemon zest, gracefully layered with notes of citrus blossom, acacia, toasted almonds, fresh butter, and subtle limestone minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, silky texture, revealing flavors of crisp orchard fruits, lemon curd, ripe peach, and delicate citrus. Bright natural acidity provides freshness and precision, while gentle mineral notes and subtle oak nuances add depth and complexity without overshadowing the wine’s pure fruit expression.

The finish is long, clean, and beautifully persistent, leaving lingering notes of citrus, white peach, toasted nuts, and refined mineral undertones that reflect the elegant character of Auxey-Duresses.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled scallops, roasted white fish, lobster, creamy chicken, mushroom dishes, goat cheese, and classic Burgundian cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served chilled at 10–12°C. Allow the wine to breathe for a few minutes in the glass before serving to fully reveal its expressive aromas, elegant texture, and mineral complexity.
