The 2018 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille is showing superbly, unfurling in the glass with notes of dried white flowers, citrus oil, fresh peach and subtle hints of praline. Medium to full-bodied, satiny but incisive, it's concentrated and tensile, concluding with a long, mineral finish. I've previously described this bottling as the insider's choice chez Rapet, and the 2018 certainly merits that title.
