The 2014 Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos de la Croix de Pierre has a refined bouquet, quite floral in nature with yellow flowers percolating through the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with good weight in the mouth, the acidity nicely judged with a hint of spice emerging towards what feels like a restrained finish that does not want to let go. Perhaps a little straight laced for its own good, yet this is still a well crafted, precise and appealing 2014 Pernand.
