Robert Parker's tasting notes on the Beaune Premier Cru Pertuisots 2019: "Elegant and charming, the 2019 Beaune Premier Cru Pertuisots wafts from the glass with notes of plums, petals, sweet berry fruit, orange oil and spices. Medium-bodied, ample and perfumed, it's elegantly fleshy, with powdery tannins and a sapid finish. It will offer a broad drinking window."
