Goedhuis, December 2015
A glorious wine from Pernand’s finest 1er Cru site. Delicious spiced liquorice and wild strawberry aromas, this balances a juicy unctuous mouthfeel with great drive and energy. A beautifully lively wine; long, full and classy.

The 2014 Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile de Vergelesses, from limestone soils, has a very terroir-driven, mineral-rich bouquet with delicate floral scents developing. The palate is crisp and linear, very well balanced and full of freshness. It exerts a gentle grip at the back of the mouth, the fruit merging red fruit with black on the finish. What a lovely Pernand-Vergelesses from Chandon de Briailles. Drink 2017-2030

Sarah Marsh, December 2015, Score: 17.5
A nice balance of clay and limestone which drains well…this has a refined aroma…more precise lifted floral aromatics, white flowers..very pure. Note of white pepper too. The palate is precise, elegant and very nicely defined. Straight - a fine core to the wine …racy on the finish…a lively long, white mineral..talcy…saline at the end. Delicate but intense.
Producer
Domaine Chandon de Briailles
The sibling team at this stunning domaine (Francois and Claude de Nicolay) is most definitely a winning one. Their biggest influence has been to convert the estate firstly to organic and now to biodynamic methods of viticulture and vinification. The wines focus on sensual flavours and refinement, these are not powerful, but the aged vines allow for wines of extraordinary texture and complexity.
Region
Pernand Vergelesses
With its neighbours, Ladoix Serrigny and Aloxe-Corton, Pernand Vergelesses has its own village and premier cru appellations but shares the two grand crus: Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay. The limestone marl soil is well-suited to growing Chardonnay and the resulting white wines are crisp and mineral with a good capacity for ageing. Pinot Noir is planted in areas of redder iron-rich soil and the best vineyards produce charmingly soft red wines with classic notes of raspberries and violets.
