ABOUT THE WINE
Domaine Antonin Guyon is one of the most prestigious estates in the Côte d’Or, as well as one of the largest family-owned wineries in the region. It was started in the 1960s by Antonin Guyon with parcels of land in Gevrey and Meursault. Pernand-Vergelesses is located northwest of Beaune. The very steep slopes here enjoy good south-easterly exposure and white marl soils, predominantly limestone. The 1er Cru Sous Frètille is at the top of the Corton hill, just above the Gran Cru Corton Charlemagne itself. Grapes are hand-harvested and then carried in small boxes to the cellars, where they are sorted. The wine is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
A brilliant golden color, with flowery aromas and hints of hazelnuts. An elegant wine with a lot of finesse and freshness.
FOOD PAIRING
Serve with cooked fish or white meat with creamy sauces.
