Domaine Chandon de Briailles 2006 Ile de Vergelesses Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)
- Cellar Selection
- $53
A ripe, red berry-fruit flavored wine, highlighted with sweet cherries. At this young stage, it shows more fruit than structure. Tannins are here, likely to flesh out the wine as it develops. For the moment, enjoy the great swathes of sweet fruit.

Domaine Chandon de Briailles 2007 Ile de Vergelesses Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)
- $53
Firm, dark tannins with solid black fruit flavors. It has structure followed by lively acidity that lends freshness, with a final beautiful black cherry character. It promises aging potential, proof of the quality of the vineyard in a cooler year.

Louis Jadot 2005 Clos de la Croix de Pierre Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)
- $34
Mineral and initially austere, this is a reticent wine. The red berry fruits are there, but they are packed inside dry tannins. Arching over these elements is an austerity that needs time to break through. It’s obviously a wine that needs aging, as it’s not giving much away at the moment.

Laleure-Piot 1998 Premier Cru Les Vergelesses Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)
- $33
Exemplary in all areas, from the smoke, mushroom and berry nose to the exotic undertones of island spice and fine oak supporting vibrant raspberry fruit. It’s one of those wines that’s a pure pleasure to drink, and it’s ready out of the gate. For very good Burgundy that clicks on all cylinders, this is it.

Chanson Père et Fils 2005 Les Vergelesses Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)
- $65
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.

Chanson Père et Fils 2007 Les Caradeux Premier Cru Chardonnay (Pernand-Vergelesses)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Initially soft, this wine then reveals a firmer structure, and a salty and mineral texture. There is an element of toastiness, rounding out the crisp apple and citrus fruit flavors. A cool, elegant wine.

Chanson Père et Fils 2008 Les Caradeux Premier Cru Chardonnay (Pernand-Vergelesses)
- $60
While the wine has a steely edge to it, it also has delicious, warm, full yellow fruits, juicy acidity and wood that fits well within the overall structure. For aging over 3–4 years.

Maison Champy 2008 Les Fichots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)
A cool, elegant wine, the wood in harmony with the black cherry and mulberry fruits. The wine is properly structured and dense, the dry tannins lending great support to this fine, mineral-inspired wine.
