Bavencoff, Pernand Vergelesses Blanc – 2019

A graceful expression of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, Bavencoff Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc 2019 showcases the elegance, freshness, and mineral character of Chardonnay from this distinctive appellation. This beautifully composed vintage combines ripe orchard fruit, refined texture, and lively acidity, offering a sophisticated white Burgundy with a harmonious balance of richness, freshness, and terroir-driven finesse.

Brilliant pale gold in color with luminous straw reflections, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe pear, white peach, green apple, and lemon zest, beautifully layered with notes of acacia blossom, citrus flowers, toasted almonds, fresh butter, and delicate flinty minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, rounded texture, revealing flavors of ripe orchard fruits, lemon curd, peach, baked apple, and subtle citrus. Balanced acidity provides freshness and precision, while gentle oak and creamy nuances add depth and complexity. A refined mineral backbone contributes structure and elegance, creating a beautifully harmonious Chardonnay.

The finish is long, clean, and elegantly persistent, leaving lingering notes of citrus, white peach, toasted hazelnut, floral nuances, and subtle mineral undertones that reflect the distinctive character of Pernand-Vergelesses.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled scallops, roasted white fish, lobster, prawns, creamy poultry, mushroom dishes, goat cheese, and refined French cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served chilled at 10–12°C. Allow the wine to breathe for 10–15 minutes before serving to fully reveal its expressive aromas, elegant texture, and mineral complexity.
