Champy Pernand Vergelesses Premier Cru Ile des Vergelesses 2015

Champy Pernand Vergelesses Premier Cru Ile des Vergelesses is an elegant Pinot Noir from one of the finest Premier Cru climats in Pernand Vergelesses. Aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, violet, forest floor, and baking spice lead to a silky palate with refined tannins, bright acidity, delicate minerality, and a persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast duck, pork tenderloin, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, roast chicken, or Epoisses cheese for a classic Burgundy pairing.

92 Points - James Suckling

With one-third new oak, this prime estate-owned parcel displays greater spice, depth and complexity. Bright brambly red cherry fruit is complemented by a palate that offers more weight and roundness than Les Vergelesses, supported by a more powerful core of acidity. The tension between vibrant freshness and generous fruit is beautifully captured, resulting in a balanced and expressive wine. Drink from 2022.
