Wine Critic Reviews
(vinified with 30% whole clusters; from a tiny crop due to coulure resulting from cold weather during the flowering; 12.3% natural alcohol): Bright medium red. Sweet red fruits on the expressive nose. Then sweet but rather backward on the palate, with spicy flavors of redcurrant, strawberry and leather framed by stony minerality. This is starting to shut down in the bottle and has serious tannins for aging.

The 2012 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Vergelesses has a delightful, floral bouquet with dried rose petals infusing the red cherry and fresh strawberry scents. The palate is well structure with gritty tannins, fine tension and symmetry on the finish that is very appealing. Nothing over the top here – just finely made, approachable Burgundy wine that I suspect will age far better than many will give it. Drink now-2020.
