Pernand-Vergelesses
1er Cru Fichots
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.

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.
