2023, Domaine Chandon de Briailles, PERNAND-VERGELESSES, 1er Cru, 'Ile de Vergelesses'In barrel, blended. A rich purple colour, the nose shows a slightly higher volatile which adds a nutty element to the fruit on the nose, but this has not yet been cleaned up for bottling either. The fruit profile is just on the blacker side of the cusp with red berries. Leaves a lingering fine rich red and black cherry aftertaste. Drink from 2027 2032. **** 90 93 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy. The 2023 Pernand Vergelesses le de Vergelesses 1er Cru
