Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru "ile Des Vergelesses" Domaine Chandon De Briailles, 2021

Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Île des Vergelesses from Domaine Chandon de Briailles is a graceful expression of Premier Cru Burgundy, offering the poise and precision that Pinot Noir lovers look for in the Côte de Beaune. The 2021 vintage brings a fresher, more lifted style, with a strong sense of site and the understated elegance that has made this historic vineyard so highly regarded.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a bright ruby-red color with good clarity and a delicate, translucent Burgundy character. The nose is refined and aromatic, with red cherries, wild strawberries, rose petals, subtle spice, and a gentle earthy, mineral edge. On the palate, it is likely to be medium-bodied and finely structured, with crisp acidity, supple tannins, and a savoury, terroir-driven finish. The 2021 vintage should lend extra freshness and definition, making it approachable in youth while still offering the balance needed for several years of cellar development.

Production
Île des Vergelesses is one of the standout Premier Cru sites in Pernand-Vergelesses, benefiting from well-exposed slopes and limestone-rich soils that help Pinot Noir retain finesse, tension, and minerality. Domaine Chandon de Briailles is known for working with careful, low-intervention practices, often emphasizing sustainable or biodynamic farming and hand harvesting to preserve purity and vineyard expression. Vinification is typically focused on gentle extraction and minimal handling to let the character of the site shine through.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck, pigeon, roast chicken, veal, mushroom dishes, and earthy vegetarian plates such as lentil or truffle-based preparations. Serve it at around 15-16°C, and decant briefly if it is showing young and tightly wound, though a careful pour into Burgundy glasses may be enough to open it gradually.
