Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru - Ile Vergelesses 2020

Domaine Chandon de Briailles, located in Savigny-lès-Beaune, is a historic estate in the Côte de Beaune. The domaine cultivates prestigious terroirs in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and on the Corton hill, with an approach focused on allowing each individual parcel to express its natural character. Its wines are distinguished by their finesse, precision and ability to reveal the nuances of Burgundy’s great terroirs.

The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Île des Vergelesses Rouge comes from several parcels covering a total of 2.10 hectares, with vines planted in 1949, 1953, 1976, 1982 and 1990. Situated mid-slope on an east-facing incline, this prestigious climat benefits from balanced clay-limestone soils over limestone bedrock similar to that found on the Corton hill. Considered one of the finest terroirs in Pernand-Vergelesses, it produces a Pinot Noir combining depth, finesse, structure and remarkable mineral expression.
