Description

Pernand-Vergelesses 1996 – Pierre André

A classic Burgundy shaped by freshness, finesse, and terroir

The 1996 Pernand-Vergelesses from Pierre André is a refined expression of this quietly esteemed village in the Côte de Beaune, nestled on the slopes near the hill of Corton. The vintage is known for its vibrant acidity and elegant structure, giving wines with excellent aging potential—clearly reflected in this graceful cuvée.

The brick-tinted ruby color reveals the wine’s maturity. The nose is delicate and evolved, offering aromas of cherry compote, dried leaves, soft spices, with hints of forest floor and aged leather. On the palate, it retains refreshing acidity, with mellow tannins and a persistent finish, marked by earthy and mineral nuances.

This 1996 Pernand-Vergelesses pairs beautifully with roast poultry, rabbit with wild mushrooms, or a slice of aged Brillat-Savarin. It is an authentic and elegant wine, speaking quietly and truthfully of Burgundy’s terroir and the graceful passage of time.
