Pernand-Vergelesses
Rouge
Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.
Vineyard
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have lived side by side in this village for a long time. The soils reserved for Pinot Noir are located at the bottom and middle of the hillside. The soils are quite red, rich in ferruginous clay but also in silica residues and limestone with flint. Cuvée produced on the terroirs of Les Pins and Sous les Clous.
