This super Premier Cru de Pernand faces the estate's Corton-Charlemagne parcel just outside the village. It gives a very fruity and fragrant wine, with a smooth texture and a round mouthfeel. It really needs two or three years in the bottle for the terroir to assert itself and show its class. To be discovered. RVF : 94/100

Technique

Viticulture

En Caradeux, facing east, is situated on very steep ground at the foot of a hillock. It has little rock, light and sandy soil on crumbling lava, among gravelly mountain scree. The 19th century spelling of En Quart à Deux suggests that it owes its name to its quadrangular configuration, between two paths that run along the road through Pernand. The upper part of the slope is in the village appellation and the greater part in the 1er Cru.

Oenology

Pressing is done with a pneumatic press and lasts two hours. After 24 hours of settling at low temperatures, the juice is placed in barrels for fermentation. The proportion of new wood is 30%. The wine is bottled after 12 months of ageing.
