Wine Critic Reviews
(bottled last June; from vines harvested on October 8): Good medium red. Black cherry, licorice, flint and menthol on the nose. Juicy, youthfully imploded and firm-edged, offering excellent precision to the flavors of dark cherry, bitter chocolate, minerals and spices. Tannins are a bit tough but not dry. Finishes with a saline quality but also a touch more sweetness than I found in the young 2014 version. This should evolve slowly.

The 2013 Pernand Vergelesses les Vergelesses 1er Cru has a slightly withdrawn bouquet with blackberry and undergrowth scents laced with cold black tea. It unfolds nicely in the glass but never fully lets go. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, crunchy tannin. I like the structure here, but there is just a slight greenness just poking its head out on the finish.
