Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2011-2016, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2007

Very healthy crimson. Intense but pretty raw flavours. Vigorous, bitter cherry nose. Lovely mellow ripe fruit on the palate with some lift on the finish. Much riper than most red Pernands. (JR)

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).
