Domaine Dubreuil Fontaine Pernand Vergelesses Premier Cru Clos Berthet Monopole Rouge 2021 bursts from the glass with vibrant red cherry, wild strawberry and a savoury, mineral edge that screams fine Côte de Beaune Pinot from a single‑vineyard monopole. It’s poised, energetic and quietly luxurious, without any excess.

On the palate, this Clos Berthet Monopole Rouge 2021 is all about purity and finesse – juicy red fruits, hints of violet, white pepper and subtle earthy complexity, wrapped in silky, powdery tannins. Acidity is bright but not sharp, giving a refreshing, moreish line. It’s medium‑bodied, elegant and beautifully balanced from first sip to finish.

This is a cracking Burgundy for roast duck, thyme‑rubbed lamb, mushroom risotto or a proper roast chook with crispy skin. It also sings with charcuterie and semi‑hard cheeses like Comté. Serve slightly cool, decant briefly, and let this wine show its refined, food‑friendly charm.
