The village of Pernand-Vergelesses is located just 3km from Aloxe-Corton, and of all the villages that the Grand Cru hill of Corton looks over, this is the most picturesque. The vineyard of “Ile des Vergelesses” is relatively high up on the slope and enjoys a northeasterly exposure, which means that the fruit achieves maximum ripeness quite late on. Our Pernand-Vergelesses “Ile des Vergelesses” is worked traditionally by the winemakers of Domaine Louis Latour.

Fermentation : Traditional in open vats. 100% malolactic fermentation.

Ageing : 10 to 12 months ageing in oak barrels, 25% new.

Barrels Louis Latour cooperage, French oak, medium toasted.

Our Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru “Ile des Vergelesses” 2020 has a deep and bright colour with garnet hues. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry and undergrowth emanate from its nose. Ample and round on the palate, this wine develops notes of raspberries, with hints of mocha. The finish is fresh and tannic.
