TASING NOTES
To the eye, Pernand-Vergelesses is intense ruby colour with blush highlights or an intense crimson. In the early stages, the nose is of strawberry, raspberry, and violet. When older, it evolves into underbrush and spices. The mouth is unaggressive but muscular with well-melted tannins.

FOOD PARINGS
This wine goes perfectly with the veal, roasted, braised or in sauce, leg of lamb, feathered game, or grilled pork. Roast beef would also yield to its charms. From the cheese board: Mont d’Or, Vacherin, Tomme de Savoie, Reblochon, Cîteaux.
