Chandon de Briailles : Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru "Ile des Vergelesses" 2023

Prominent ripe black fruit aromas with just a hint of liquorice spice, exotic black tea and a burst of limestone minerality – notably more than the Les Vergelesses further down the slope. The texture is firmer, tannic and rich. The overall impression is one of vitality and youth. The grapes are from a parcel of almost 4ha in one block, with 1.2ha planted to white. There are a range of planting dates, but the blend of old and young vines has delivered a marvellous result. Biodynamic.
