Pernand-Vergelesses
Rouge
The season begins with a mild and dry winter, leading to an early start to the growing cycle. A significant episode of frost occurred on the Chardonnay on April 5 then on the Pinot Noir on April 14, causing a harvest loss (30% to 50%). A cooling at the beginning of June leads to capricious flowering. This causes runoff and further reduces yields while concentrating the aromas. The hot summer induces water stress in certain places which delays the maturity of the grapes. Because the berries are small and few number, the sugar level in the grapes is naturally high but the lack of water helped maintain good acidity.
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.
