Les Vergelesses

The parcel

Along the road from Beaune to Pernand, Les Vergelesses occupies a gentle east-facing slope. Limestone beds hold red, iron-rich earth.

Soil Iron-rich clay and limestone beds

Winemaking & ageing

Grapes arrive in small crates and are sorted before vatting. Fermentation lasts around fifteen days with punch-downs, followed by barrel ageing with 20% new oak. Bellows-assisted racking limits handling.

Tasting notes

A silky red with fresh blackcurrant and redcurrant notes. Woodland aromas appear with age.

At the table

Beef fillet, veal, lamb or duck.
