Pernand-Vergelesses
1er Cru Fichots
The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.
Vineyard
Below Corton Grand Cru A.O.C., this terroir, facing almost North-West and turning one's back on Corton- Charlemagne, grows on shallow clayey and limestone soils. It characterizes specifically the style of Pernand-Vergelesses with overtones of fruits, spices and character.
