This wine offers a whole new take on the world-famous Merlot

(from a small parcel that makes on average one barrel annually

Follin Arbelet, Pernand Vergelesses Blanc other_regions_italy This wine offers a whole(from the villages portion of En Caradeux). Hints of menthol and herbal tea add breadth to the nose of green apple and citrus elements. There is both good detail and underlying tension on the middleweight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the bitter lemon inflected, dry and nicely long finale. This could use better depth but its already very pretty and is worth considering for its level.
