Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses 2022

The 2022 vintage showcases the distinctive character of this often-overlooked premier cru, which sits adjacent to the hill of Corton. The vineyard's southeastern exposure and optimal elevation contribute to its reputation for producing wines of notable finesse.

The bouquet reveals bright red fruits - notably cherries and raspberries - complemented by subtle floral notes and a refined mineral character typical of this well-positioned site. The aromatics reflect both the warm 2022 vintage and the cooler microclimate of Pernand-Vergelesses.

On the palate, the wine displays impressive precision and purity, with vibrant acidity balancing the ripe fruit core. The structure is elegant rather than imposing, with fine-grained tannins providing subtle support. The finish shows remarkable persistence, with mineral notes and pure fruit carrying through, demonstrating why Ile des Vergelesses is often considered one of the finest premier crus of Pernand-Vergelesses.
