Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses
2022
This parcel of 1.226 hectares, planted in 1954, lies under the road that separates it from the ‘Île des Vergelesses’ climate. The surface soils here are reddish clay with a high iron content.
There is limestone deep down. The result is a full-bodied, rounded wine that is easy to drink when young.
No pumping over or sulphites are used during vinification, and the grapes are harvested whole, except in years of frost or hail. 90% of the cuvée is matured in Burgundy barrels made of several wines, and 10% in new barrels, for 14 to 18 months.

Vintage 2022
Here, we're back to a generous, sunny vintage. A very dry, hot spring and summer could have taken their toll on the vines, but they were resilient, adapted very well and produced an exceptional vintage.
The wines are rich and generous, without lacking finesse or complexity. Just what you'd expect from a fine Pinot-Noir from our region. The harvest took place from August 25 to September 10, and was relatively abundant. The grapes were very healthy and required little sorting; one vintage follows another and no two are alike.
