History

The vineyards and the village of Pernand-Vergelesses are tucked into the junction of two valleys among the hills of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy.

The nearby hill of Corton stands guard over it and two other villages, Aloxe Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny, harboring prestigious Grands Crus: Corton and Corton Charlemangne. Pernand with its sloping site and steep streets has “a smiling face”.

The appellation includes 11 Premiers Crus « climats » and the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses also produces 3 Grands Crus : CORTON, CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE and CHARLEMAGNE.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes were harvested by hand and sorted manually on arrival at the winery. All the grapes were de-stemmed. Cold maceration for 8 days at 8°C. Fifteen days of fermentation with punching down and pumping over 2 times/day during the fermentation at a temperature of 28° to 30°C. Ageing 100% in Burgundian oak barrels of 228 litres (30% on new oak).

Vintage : 2022

Uncertain weather conditions all the year, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest was running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
