Origin
Beaune is the winegrowing capital of the region and has played an important role in Burgundian history. Profits from the annual “Hospices de Beaune” wine auction continue to provide support to hospice residents.
The vineyards of Beaune are unique in that out of approximately 400 ha of vines under production, over 300 ha are classified as Premier Cru.
“Les Pertuisots” is located in the southern part of the appellation just near the famous “Clos des Mouches”. In Old French, pertuisot was a Burgundian diminutive form of pertuis meaning “a hole, an opening, a hollow”.
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2019
2019 was a unique and very changeable year. It brought its own stresses, while harvesting passed without a hitch.
The weather was hot and dry and the 2019 grapes were harvested in perfect health, aside from being scorched here and there.
The skins were very thick, promising good color, and the whites were very aromatic.
Since the start of the 20th century, every vintage that has ended with a “9” has been wonderful.
The only downside to this one is again below-average volumes.
