*All prices in bond* 86-87 Points Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Mid red. A pretty floral red fruit, elegant and with charm, in the style of typical Pernand. Attractively perfumed on the palate too, light tannins, an agreeable lighter red for summer drinking.
The Premier Cru les Serpentières is located a stone's throw from Savigny-lès-Beaune , on the south-facing slope of the valley which moves away from the Corton hill. The gently sloping terroir, facing south, limestone and very stony, is a setting for Pinot Noir .
*Prices in Bond* Showing a youthful, taut, slightly flinty reductive character on the nose with chocolate and raspberry nuances. The palate reveals tart glassy acids with a sleek structure, saline maritime tension, and a pithy, smoky, slightly savoury leesy limestone minerality on the finish.
