Tasting notes
This Pernand-Vergelesses red offers a veritable explosion of freshness from the very first nose, with fresh, fruity aromas that instantly evoke strawberries and raspberries, while remaining elegantly balanced. On the palate, ripe red fruits come to the fore, revealing all the finesse of the Pinot Noir. The tannins are round but perfectly structured, giving a fine consistency without weighing down the wine. The refined, mineral texture adds an extra dimension.
