Etienne Delarche Pernand Vergelesses Rouge Ile De Vergelesses Premier Cru 2022 750 ML

It’s easy to miss the petite hamlet of Pernand-Vergelesses, hiding behind bulk of the noble Corton hill. Yet this Cote de Beaune village, with its impeccable vineyards, is a treasure trove of refined Burgundy wines. For more than three generations, the Delarche family has crafted authentic, earthy and expressive Burgundy in Pernand, much under the radar of the Burgundy cognoscenti. Yet Delarche Burgundy offers a clarity and purity of flavor that is captivating.

Aromas of blackberry, licorice, violets. Intense yet not primary, good balance yet deeply flavored. Bramble fruit, minerals.
