Pernand-Vergelesses AOP “Les Belles Filles”

Cépage

The only variety of Burgundy red wines: the delicate Pinot Noir.

Terroir

This climat well-exposed facing east, is situated across from the village of Pernand. The slope is quite steep and erosion is limited by limestone banks. The soil takes on a red colour due to the ferruginous clay present in the ground.

Origine du nom

The name of the climat “Bois Noël et Belles Filles” refers, poetically speaking, to a certain locality where the young women joyfully went for romantic dates.

Vinification

We aim to obtain fruity wines, rich in blended tannins, signature of well ripened grapes. We bring in the grapes in small crates for careful sorting in the winery. The fermentation lasts 15 days with pigeages, punching down of the cap, allowing the wine to soak up the richness and the colour from the grape-skins before pressing.. Racking by the means of a bellow eliminates the need for a pump. All these precautions limit handling of the wine, thus preserving all the richness. Ageing takes place in barrels of which 15 % are new during 15 months.

Notes de dégustation

Their aromas are fresh (black and red currant), round and fruity with a touch of mineral, so typical of our coteaux.

Accords mets & vins

The Pernand can be served after 3 years. The ideal serving temperature is around 15°C. Thanks to its freshness, it is the ideal partner of fish fillets cooked on the plancha or barbecue, risottos with morels or ceps, white meats like a Bresse chicken, braised or grilled.
