Considered by many worthy of elevation to Grand Cru status.

Illuminée par le soleil des le petit matin, il caressée de ses rayons rasant lorsqu’il se couche à l’arrière de la colline du Bois de Noël où elle s’adosse doucement, l’Ile des Vergelesses se veut velouté, elegance et detelle sophistiquée!

Illuminated by the early morning sun and caressed by its low angled rays when it lays itself down behind the Bois de Noël hill, where it sweetly comes to rest, the Ile des Vergelesses tends toward velvet, elegance and sophisticated lace.

Moving over to the darker, masculine side of Pernand, this bottling only adds more to the expanding profile of cherry, red fruit flavors already on exhibit in the previous wines from the domaine, while adding a darker, more somber palate profile, a more reserved expression and a more sturdy tannic structure.
