Pernard Vergelesses 1er Cru 'Les Vergelesses' 2022 - Remoissenet Père & Fils

THE WINE

The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Les Vergelesses" 2022 from Remoissenet Père & Fils is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir that beautifully captures the elegance of this distinguished Premier Cru vineyard on the northern slopes of the Côte de Beaune. Aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, and violet are layered with subtle notes of crushed stone, forest floor, sweet spice, and a delicate hint of coffee. The palate is vibrant and beautifully proportioned, combining pure red fruit with silky, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. The limestone-rich soils of Les Vergelesses lend a pronounced mineral backbone, bringing precision, freshness, and impressive length, while restrained oak ageing enhances texture without overshadowing the wine's purity. The finish is long, graceful, and persistent, revealing floral nuances, savoury spice, and exceptional balance. Elegant yet structured, it is a classic Premier Cru Burgundy with excellent ageing potential.
