2023 Domaine Rollin Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru "Ils Les Vergelesseses

Each wine in Rollin’s trio of Pernand-Vergelesses premier crus emphasizes a particular facet of the village’s complex personality. Les Vergelesses is situated in the southern part of the appellation, just below the grand Ile des Vergelesses (see below), and Rollin’s 55-year-old vines here yield the most elegant, gentle, and supple of their three crus. Although it can be more accessible at an earlier stage of development, its relative breeziness does nothing to compromise its capacity for cellaring. Like all of Rollin’s red premier crus, Les Vergelesses sees only 30% new oak.
