Pernand Vergelesses, Ile de Vergelesses, 1er Cru, 2022

Classy and composed and full of fine sweet berry red fruits. There's a seam of discreet minerality here, adding to the impression of lively charm. Touches of grapefruit give a dancing feel to the fruit, while vertical tannins provide a sense of control. The south-east facing Ile de Vergelesses 1er Cru is composed of poor, very rocky soils and the resulting wine always has a firm mineral dimension with suave fruit above.
