Chandon de Briailles 'Ile des Vergelesses'' Organic Pernand Vergelesses Premier Cru 2015

92pts - Burghound

91pts - Robert Parker

"A wonderfully fresh if somewhat reticent nose grudgingly offers up very ripe notes of dark currant, earth & a pretty range of floral elements. There is once again outstanding richness to the full-bodied, muscular & relatively powerful flavors that culminate in a noticeably warm & structured finale." - Burghound

"The 2015 Pernand Vergelesses les Vergelesses 1er Cru comes from mainly red clayey soils with a high iron content. It has a charming bouquet with blackberry, orange rind & pressed flower notes that frankly put the three 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaunes in the shade. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, very good balance & crucially, unlike the Savigny-lès-Beaunes, there is satisfying fruité on the tensile finish. This has good potential." - Robert Parker
