Pernand-Vergelesses
1er Cru Fichots
A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
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.
