[ Home > Wines > Burgundy & Beaujolais > Burgundy & Beaujolais > Chanson Pernand-Vergelesses1er Cru Rouge 2005 ]

Country: France
Region: Burgundy

Bright ruby colour. Intense aromas of peony, preserved red berries (strawberry) and liquorice drop on a delicate vanilla note. Concentrated, round and complex. Beautiful aromatic combination on the fruit. Well-integrated oak note and well-shaped tannins. Good persistence.

Reviews:

"A silky version, with a touch of wildness to the cherry, berry and herb notes. Nicely rounded, with well-integrated tannins. Best from 2010 through 2020. 75 cases imported. –BS " -Rated 89, Wine Spectator

"The 2005 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses smells brightly of sour cherry , cherry pit, and smoked meats. Decidedly saline and savory in the mouth, with bitter-sweet, cherry-dominated flavors, this finishes with an interesting juxtaposition of bracing salinity and a slightly hard stoniness. I would be tempted to enjoy this now for its vivacious fruit, but two or three years may fill out the finish and add some depth. Also recommended: 2005 Beaune Teurons (85)." -Rated 87, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Rich fruit, layered with acidity, stars in a wine that is dense, very much a product of the powerful 2005 vintage. With the concentrated tannins, this is showing that it needs to age, but already the sweet fruits are opulent and soft. — R.V. (12/31/2008)" -Rated 92, Wine Enthusiast
