Domaine Chanson’s *Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Caradeux 2024* is a stellar, organic-certified Premier Cru Chardonnay sourced from an easterly, steep slope directly adjacent to Corton-Charlemagne, where stony, mid-slope limestone soils produce white Burgundies of intense chalky minerality and structural precision. Pours a shimmering, pale lemon-gold with bright green highlights in the glass, it opens with a vibrant, flinty nose of crunchy green apple, white peach, and jasmine floral notes, underlaid by wet river rock, crushed limestone, and a subtle touch of lightly toasted oak. Medium-bodied, precise, and taut on the palate at 13.5% ABV, it delivers a focused, mouthwatering core of fresh lemon curd, Bartlett pear, and grapefruit zest, propelled by an energetic, tension-filled acidity and a distinct saline minerality. It culminates in a long, crisp, and chiseled finish that lingers with nuances of lime peel, wet stone, and elegant French oak vanilla.
