“Les Cloux” is a well-situated lieu-dit on the north side of the hill of Corton, adjacent to the premier cru “Sous Frétille”. It lies on a high-altitude, steep part of a hill, but a general lack of direct breezes there ensures its ripeness. The wine shows a lower-pitched, deeper nose than Rollin’s basic Pernand-Vergelesses, but with equivalent limestone intensity—more solid in its character than powdered. It is richer and thicker in the mouth as well, but the balletic acidity holds it together perfectly.
