Coming from 0.36 hectares, the 'En Caradeux' plot in Pernand-Vergelesses faces east, overlooking the Corton hill, at an altitude of between 250 and 300 metres above sea level, with clay-limestone soil mixed with chaillots (siliceous residues of flint limestone). 100% Pinot Noir.
Hand-harvested and selected in the vineyard, the grapes are 100% destemmed before being placed in open oak vats. Maceration and vinification last approximately 15 days. Daily punch-downs and pump-overs are performed during alcoholic fermentation. Aged in oak barrels for 16 to 18 months.
Wine Identification
This profile concerns the Caradeux 2023, a red wine produced by Domaine Poisot Père et Fils. Sourced from the Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru appellation in Burgundy, France, this vintage is identified as the 2023 release.
Origin and Winemaking
The vineyard parcel, named 'En Caradeux', covers 0.36 hectares and is situated at an altitude between 250 and 300 meters above sea level. Facing east toward the Corton hill, the site features soil composed of clay-limestone mixed with chaillots, which are siliceous residues from flint limestone. The wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes.
Vinification begins with a manual harvest followed by selection in the vineyard. The grapes undergo 100% destemming before being transferred to open oak vats. Fermentation and maceration last approximately 15 days, during which daily punch-downs and pump-overs are performed. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes ageing in oak barrels for a period of 16 to 18 months.
Expected Profile
As a Burgundian Pinot Noir from a premier cru site, this wine is expected to exhibit characteristics typical of the region’s eastern-facing slopes. The clay-limestone soils with siliceous elements likely contribute structure and minerality, while the extended ageing in oak barrels suggests an integration of woody notes and enhanced complexity. The use of open oak vats and daily extraction during fermentation points to a wine crafted for texture and depth.
Overall Character
The Caradeux 2023 represents a traditional expression of Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru. With its specific terroir, manual selection, and careful vinification involving open oak fermentation and extended barrel ageing, it stands as a structured, earthy red wine reflective of Domaine Poisot Père et Fils’ meticulous approach to Burgundian winemaking.

In 1902 Marie Poisot, daughter of Louis Latour, inherited two hectares of vines. They were not any two hectares: they took in a premier cru in Pernand and three grands crus, Corton, Corton-Charlemagne and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
After the successive divisions and sales that followed her inheritance and the death of her son Pierre Poisot, a grower in Aloxe-Corton who died in 1937, the estate still runs to about those two hectares. And it keeps something very rare in a small family domaine: three grands crus and one premier cru in barely two hectares.
Its Romanée-Saint-Vivant parcel is under half a hectare. It sits in the southern part of the grand cru, just below Romanée-Conti, facing the rising sun, on heavy brown limestone clay with deep soil.
Rémi Poisot took over in 2010, after twenty-five years in the Navy.
The cellar is in Aloxe-Corton, a village given over entirely to vines and whose very name tells a story: Corton, the name of its grand cru, was added to Aloxe by imperial decree on 22 March 1862.
