Coming from the Côte de Beaune, the 2019 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Vergelesses has a medium ruby hue as well as a pretty, perfumed nose of red plums and bright raspberry-like fruits as well as sappy flower and rose petal notes. It's quite perfumed and expressive aromatically and is medium-bodied on the palate, with silky tannins, some nicely integrated oak, and a great finish. As with the other releases, it needs lots of air to show at its best, and it really didn't come together until the second day, which I think bodes well for its ageability.

An intense style, evoking black cherry, blackberry, spice and earth flavors that quickly become entangled with the dense, dusty tannins. As a result, the finish is pinched for now. Best from 2024 through 2036.
