Pinot Noir | France

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The 1er Cru Vergelesses is just across the main road leading into Pernand from the Grand Cru Corton, and this wine just crushes it in 2019. I have tasted this wine in nearly every vintage for the past 12 years, and the 2019 is a clear winner! Pure raspberry, dusty cherry, stones, and hints of forest floor meet subtle oak spice, and superb length.
About the Producer
It’s easy to miss the petite hamlet of Pernand-Vergelesses, hiding behind the bulk of the noble Corton hill. Yet this Côte de Beaune village, with its impeccable vineyards, is a treasure trove of refined Burgundy wines. For more than three generations, the Delarche family has crafted authentic, earthy and expressive Burgundy in Pernand, much under the radar of the Burgundy cognoscenti. Yet Delarche Burgundy offers a clarity and purity of flavor that is captivating; whites are creamy and concentrated, taking a cue from Corton-Charlemagne, while reds are spicy and refined, seductive from the moment they’re bottled yet able to age effortlessly for years.
