Pinot Noir

first growth

Nestled at the confluence of two valleys, Pernand-Vergelesses is located in the upper reaches of the Côte de Beaune. Solid and pulpy, it is a great seducer. With its virile but superbly mellow tannins, it is a full-bodied wine for connoisseurs, whose richness gives it all the harmony it needs.
