RATINGS

90-92Burghound.com

Highly expressive nose that combines notes of earth, spice, underbrush, smoke and broad crushed fruit aromas that dissolve into rich, structured and intense medium full flavors that are quite firm but not tough, all wrapped in a minerally..

87-90Stephen Tanzer

Ripe black cherry, stone and smoked meat on the nose. Fat on entry, then closed in the middle, showing its structure today. Rather powerful but not especially sweet, hinting at earth, spices and minerals and conveying a chewy impression...

REGION

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