1996 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos de la Croix de Pierre 1996 Louis Jadot (Domaine Gagey)

Description

This super wine from the very good 1996 vintage scores 86-88/100 Parker Points and “The medium-to-dark ruby-colored Pernand-Vergelesses Clos De La Croix De Pierre has grapy and toasted oak scents which give way to a black currant and stone-flavored, medium-bodied, velvety-textured, and beautifully ripe character.” Drink now – 2025. “I am in love with this vintage’s purity and its touch of tension,” said Pierre-Henri Gagey, Maison Louis Jadot’s director. Jacques Lardiere, this negociant house’s talented winemaker, shares Gagey’s enthusiasm for the 1996s, feeling they beautifully reflect their respective terroirs. This vintage wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew, wine pourer, drip stopper & wine thermometer) [worth £17.99] at no extra cost and now includes a free gift card with your personal message and tasting and storage notes.
