This was a real pleasure. It’s also boasting a dense and long cork.
2019 Domaine Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru (2/14/2022)
This is beautiful. From first pour into the glass, the bouquet was already taking over: an assortment of fresh red berries, earth tones, a definite blood orange or orange zest streak and a myriad of sweet pie spices. Lovely nose: ça pinote. The palate has nice medium body with no hollow point whatsoever. It keeps its volume and texture from entry to finish. The dusty tannins and lively acidity provide ample structure to showcase the fruit. Nice finish on spice laden tart red berries. I just can’t wait for this to take on secondary and tertiary notes from aging. This should be even more interesting in 10+ years.
