Louis Jadot Pernand-Vergelesses Clos de la Croix de Pierre 2006

The final wine education class of the series focused on Burgundy, both white and red, as well as Burgundian style Pinot Noir from Washington, Oregon, and California. The first wine of the night was the Pernand-Vergelesses Clos de la Croix de Pierre. It had a nose of pears, stone fruit, minerality, but it reminded most of us a bit of a Gewurtztraminer. It had good acidity, and a somewhat dry, but long finish. It was a nice example of a non-California style Chardonnay (which is what I usually have had in the past). Still had fruit, and a sweet nose, and a bit of oak and mild malo-lactic. Terrific wine, about $32. Tasted March 6, 2009.
