2022 Domaine Ardhuy Les Boutières Pernand-Vergelesses

Domaine d'Ardhuy is a Burgundy house that quickly became one of the top 5 producers in the region. Very extensive choice of terroirs, and high quality from the base to the Crus.

Gabriel Ardhuy helped with the 1947 harvest in Burgundy and met his future wife Eliane, daughter of a wine grower from Burgundy. They have seven daughters. The d'Ardhuy family has long owned the Pierre André trading house, with its headquarters at Château Corton-André. This was sold in 2002, so that all attention could be focused on the own vineyards and developing the own domain. The Ardhuy family owns more than forty hectares of vineyard in fantastic plots and also owns a company in the Rhône. A daughter has been appointed for both domains to organize it. At the beginning of 2003, Carel Voorhuis, son of a lawyer from Maastricht who had previously bought a winery in the Jura, came in as 'director'. And then things went quickly: already in 2004, the Revue de Vins de France chose Ardhuy as number 3 of producers in the Côte de Beaune and as number 4 in the Côte de Nuits.

The vineyard for this elegant, fruity wine is more than 100 years old: the vines were planted in 1913 at the foot of Corton Hill. The old vines produce concentrated grapes with delicate fruit aromas. The clay soil provides fresh, slender acidity in the wine.

The d'Ardhuy Les Boutières Pernand-Vergelesses is a wine in which the juicy, fruity character of the Pinot Noir comes into its own! Inviting aromas of fresh fruit and currants on the nose. Frivolous and lively in taste with beautifully integrated tannins and super fresh fruit, supported by light wood tones and elegant acidity.
