The village of Pernand is a bit like Saint-Aubin. There is an excellent group of winemakers in the village. Great quality terroirs, a rising reputation but not yet at the level of Meursault. Caradeux is a magnificent terroir situated next to the Vergelesses which gave the name to the commune. Slightly exposed to the north, the planting of white wine is justified. The wine is greedy and precise. No hesitation, this bottle must be in your cellar.
The vines are farmed using biodynamic principles and following the moon calendar. Armand and his team are also introducing permaculture in the vineyard. The whites are vinified traditionally with minimal use of oak and batonnage. The reds are vinified in whole clusters. Pumping over rather than punching down for a soft extraction The wines are aged in oak barrels for 10 to 15 months with around 20% new oak. The wines are not fined or filtered.
