Pernand Vergelesses

Perfectly exposed to the southeast, this walled vineyard sits high up on the slope, and with its pure limestone soils, delivers a more refined, layered and complex red Burgundy.

92 Points! Lots of redcurrant fruit, with notes of blood orange, tobacco leaf and sage. Sleek, focused and racy, this is a forthright expression of cool climate Burgundy that some may find a bit challenging, but which excites us. Lots of candied citrus and some dried cranberries at the structured finish. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com

95 Points! Fascinating nose of fresh hazelnuts and walnuts with just a hint of citrus. A rich and complex wine for this appellation, but with the typical, lively acidity alongside the melted-butter character. The excellent tannin structure interlocks with the chalky minerality beautifully at the very long, powerful finish. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com
