RATINGS

95James Suckling

...complex red berry aromas. Impressively concentration, focused and graceful...fine tannins keep kicking this down the road at the very long finish.

93Wine Spectator

...silky and fragrant, boasting sandalwood, vanilla, black cherry, black currant and violet flavors underlined by vivid acidity. Balanced and approachable...

93John Gilman

The nose wafts from the glass in a youthful mix of cherries, woodsmoke, pigeon, coffee, a complex base of soil tones, just a touch of new oak and a beautiful topnote of sweet stem tones from the whole clusters. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely structured out of the blocks, with an excellent core of fruit, fine soil undertow, ripe, buried tannins and lovely balance and grip on the long and complex finish.

92-94The Wine Advocate

...very promising, mingling aromas of cherries and berries with hints of peony, orange rind and forest floor in an incipiently complex bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's charming and complete, with supple tannins and a concentrated core of fruit.

91-93Burghound.com

An even more floral-suffused nose offers another step up in elegance with its attractively spiced aromas of rose petal, violet, sandalwood and cool red cherry. The sleek, intense and sophisticated medium weight flavors brim with minerality and dry extract on the balanced, persistent and complex finale.

90-92Vinous / IWC

...dark berry fruit mingling with autumn leaves and earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry...more grip, with subtle mushroom notes combining with red fruit on the finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, Ile Des Vergelesses

Pernand-Vergelesses is an 870-acre appellation sometimes overshadowed by its famous neighbor to the east, Aloxe-Corton. Depending on the time of the day, Le Montagne de Corton literally casts a shadow over of the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, which has fewer than 400 people. Pernand-Vergelesses appellation wines can be red or white, and its most renowned wines are the Grand Crus it shares with its neighbor Aloxe-Corton. About 25% of the Grand Cru vineyard Corton-Charlemagne is within the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation. There are six Premiers Crus, they produce much of the wine of Pernand-Vergelesses and nearly 75% of what they produce is Pinot Noir. Many of the vineyards face northeast, meaning that inhospitable weather can be particularly challenging for growers. Robert M. Parker Jr. notes “in good vintages a top Premier Cru Pernand-Vergelesses will be a relatively rich, rustic, concentrated wine that is often compared to that of its nearby neighbor, Savigny-Lès-Beaune.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
