The 2012 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Caradeux comes from two hectares of vine planted in 1955, with Pinot Blanc and then a hectare of Chardonnay in 1992. It has a rather simple, slightly dusty bouquet that needs to demonstrate more fruite. The palate is better than the nose with chewy citrus fruit and good acidity, although it feels quite foursquare on the finish. Drink now-2016. Importer: Terlato International and Mentzendorff (UK)
