2020 Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc
Domaine Follin-Arbelet
In my experience, it is rare for a domaine to excel equally in both colors of Burgundy. Typically, there is an obvious specialty. With Follin, that specialty has always been red, as it represents the majority of their holdings. However, with each recent foray into blanc—whether it be their recent first harvest in Aloxe-Corton, their purchases a few years ago of vineyards in Pernand, or their replanting of a new parcel in Le Charlemagne—their growing stable of whites has captured my attention as truly stand-out. Raised with the same care and style as their incredible Corton-Charlemagne, this impeccably crafted blanc showcases the majestic, steep, stony terroir of Pernand with uncommon flair and precision. Impressive!

About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
