Wine Critic Reviews
The 2015 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Vergelesses displays just as much potential from bottle as it did from barrel, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of plums, chocolate, grilled squab and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and concentrated, its chassis of fine-grained tannins more assertive than the Savigny Lavières, its finish long and taut. This will need a few years in the cellar, but it will evolve into a beautiful bottle of Les Vergelesses.

Very dark red. Pungent aromas of dark raspberry, cherry, sandalwood, and smoky crushed-stone minerality. Plush, savory and broad; uncharacteristically rich and mouthfilling for this bottling, hinting at an almost chocolatey ripeness. But enlivened by its stem-influenced pepper and spice notes, not to mention its penetrating saline minerality. I suspect this wine will gain in precision as it absorbs some of its baby fat. Finishes with a serious dusting of refined, fully ripe tannins and excellent, slowly building length. This should evolve gracefully.
