WINE DESCRIPTION
Rollin Père et Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru 'Les Vergelesses' is a remarkable wine. This Pinot Noir comes from a gently sloping, east-facing vineyard planted in 1959. The light, well-drained clay-limestone soil lends a distinctive character to the grapes. Hand-harvested fruit undergoes meticulous sorting before gentle destemming and fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. After a short maceration, the wine ages for 12-14 months in oak barrels (including 30% new wood). Natural malolactic fermentation adds complexity, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural character.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine, Rollin Père et Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru 'Les Vergelesses', is a remarkable example of a Premier Cru from the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation in Burgundy, France.On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with delicate floral notes of violets and roses. There is also a subtle hint of earthiness, reminiscent of damp forest floor, adding depth and intrigue to the aroma profile.
The palate is equally captivating, with a harmonious balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins. The red fruit flavors persist, accompanied by a touch of blackcurrant and a hint of spice, which adds complexity and a gentle warmth to the wine. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a silky texture and a long, elegant finish.
This Premier Cru showcases the terroir of Les Vergelesses, with its limestone-rich soils contributing to the wine's finesse and minerality. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve over time.
