Nestled at the confluence of two valleys, Pernand-Vergelesses is located in the upper reaches of the Côte de Beaune. Robust and full-bodied, it is a true charmer. With its bold yet superbly integrated tannins, it is a full-bodied, robust wine for connoisseurs, whose richness provides it with all the harmony it needs.
