Domaine Etienne Delarche Pernand~Vergelesses Les Vergelesses Premier Cru 2022

Domaine Étienne Delarche Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses Premier Cru 2022 is an elegant, terroir-driven, cool-climate red Burgundy that beautifully expresses the nuances of the Côte de Beaune. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir vines within the esteemed "Les Vergelesses" Premier Cru vineyard, this wine reflects the excellence of a warm and low-yielding vintage. In the glass, it displays a bright ruby-red color with an aromatic bouquet of wild redcurrants, sour cherries, and ripe raspberries, accented by delicate notes of earth, dried herbs, and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and seamlessly balanced, combining a succulent core of pure red stone fruit with integrated, grainy tannins and a lively thread of mineral-driven acidity. Having aged in fine French oak, it retains a remarkable freshness while showing complex layers of damp soil and dark spice that carry into a persistent, refined, and distinctly savory finish.

Food Pairing: This elegant red Burgundy pairs spectacularly with roasted duck breast with cherry reduction, pan-seared quail, wild mushroom risotto, or classical French escargots Bourguignonne.
