TN: 2005 Domaine Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses

• 2005 Domaine Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru (5/1/2019)
  Incredibly backwards and tight, showing but a bare trace of iron and earth on opening. With air you get purple flowers and cherry flesh appears on its minerally bones. It remains rigid and compact and needs another decade at least.

Thanks for the note. The three bottles of '06 I’ve had recently have been nothing but generous, open and at peak. I really think this doesn’t get the attention it deserves as it is generally rustic and quite mineral, but it has a charming quality about it that speaks to my palate.

Given the vintage and the winery, not at all surprising.

Interesting, jh.

The 2005 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières is currently more open, but still 2005’ish. 10 years more cellaring sounds right

Thanks Jeremy; mine are buried.
I am planning to open an 05 Village soon.
