Pernand Vergelesses

All wines from the Pernand Vergelesses appellation in Burgundy

The Pernand-Vergelesses appellation, located in the Côte de Beaune in Côte-d'Or (Burgundy), is a communal appellation recognized since 1936, renowned for its red wines (Pinot Noir) and white wines (Chardonnay). It covers an area of 158.52 hectares, including 80.10 hectares dedicated to reds (with 43.10 hectares in Premiers Crus) and 78.42 hectares to whites (including 40.17 hectares in Premiers Crus). Among its 8 Premiers Crus climats, one finds Creux de la Net, En Caradeux, Île des Vergelesses, Les Vergelesses, and Les Fichots for reds (and sometimes whites), as well as Sous Frétille, Clos Berthet, and Clos du Village exclusively for whites. Backed by the Montagne de Corton, this appellation benefits from clay-limestone and marly terroir, shared with the famous Grands Crus Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, and Charlemagne. Pernand-Vergelesses wines stand out for their elegance: fruity and fleshy reds, and mineral and refined whites.

The TOP appellation of Burgundy

Where is the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation located?

The Pernand-Vergelesses appellation lies in Burgundy’s Côte-d’Or department, in the northern Côte de Beaune, about five kilometers north of Beaune. It covers only the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses, a village perched on the side of the hill of Frétille, where two small valleys meet and open onto the back of the hill of Corton. The vineyard comprises around 150 hectares under production, planted at elevations of 250 to 350 meters on slopes with widely varying exposures. Aloxe-Corton borders the area to the east, Savigny-lès-Beaune to the south, Ladoix-Serrigny lies on the other side of the hill, and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune are to the northwest. Set back from the main slope and exposed to east–west air currents, this is one of the coolest parts of the Côte—an advantage that has become increasingly valuable as the climate warms.

History of the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation

This village has a long history, as its 12th-century church attests. Its name is thought to combine the Latin petra, meaning rock, with a Celtic root referring to a small valley and its springs, in reference to the hill of Frétille. Vines have long been documented here, and local legend traces the vineyard on the neighboring hill back to Emperor Charlemagne, whose name remains attached to the grand cru. In the 19th century, classifications drawn up by the agricultural committees of the Beaune district already ranked l’Île des Vergelesses among the commune’s finest plots. Under a decree dated December 20, 1922, Pernand gained the right to add the name of its most renowned cru to its own, becoming Pernand-Vergelesses. Its controlled designation of origin was recognized by decree on December 8, 1936, and the boundaries of its premiers crus were revised in May 1970. More recently, in a decisive step, three white-wine climats—Sous Frétille, Clos Berthet, and Village de Pernand—were elevated to premier cru status in 2001, affirming the village’s aptitude for Chardonnay. The village also hosted theater director Jacques Copeau and his troupe in the 1920s, an episode that left its mark on local memory.

What are the terroirs of the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation?

The terroirs are arranged at different elevations across two main slopes, explaining the vineyard’s dual focus. On the lower and middle south- and southeast-facing slopes toward Savigny, clay-limestone soils mixed with chaillots predominate. These siliceous remnants of flint-bearing limestone give the reds their firm structure and well-defined fruit. This is where l’Île des Vergelesses, the Vergelesses climat, les Fichots, du Creux de la Net, and En Caradeux lie. Higher up, and on the northeast-facing slopes just behind the village, brown to yellowish limestone marl is particularly well suited to Chardonnay. Here lie the white premiers crus Sous Frétille, Clos Berthet, and Village de Pernand, the last of which directly extends the Corton-Charlemagne slope. The elevation, steep slopes, and corridor of cool winds through the small valleys preserve the high natural acidity that defines these wines. L’Île des Vergelesses, facing the western flank of Corton-Charlemagne, remains the appellation’s most prestigious climat.

Which grape varieties are permitted in the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation?

The permitted grape varieties are Pinot Noir for reds and Chardonnay for whites, in keeping with Côte de Beaune practice, with no blending of red and white grapes. Production is almost evenly split, with slightly more than half devoted to reds, clearly distinguishing this village from its neighbors. On the clay and chaillots of the lower slopes, Pinot Noir yields deeply colored wines with aromas of cherry, red currant, raspberry, and forest floor. Their firm youthful tannins soften beautifully with time. Chardonnay, planted on the marl of the upper slopes, produces pale-gold whites with aromas of white flowers, citrus, peach, and almond, underpinned by a minerality and freshness reminiscent of the hill of Corton. Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, known locally as Beurot, remain permitted in small amounts under Burgundy rules but are now little more than curiosities.

What are the different styles of Pernand-Vergelesses wine?

The appellation produces still reds and whites in roughly equal proportions, across three tiers. The supple, fruity village wines offer an excellent introduction to the Côte de Beaune. The red premiers crus, particularly l’Île des Vergelesses and les Fichots, can be austere and tightly structured when young before opening up after five to eight years to reveal notes of spice, dark fruit, and forest floor. The more recently recognized but highly compelling white premiers crus offer precision, salinity, and length, with unbeatable value for those who enjoy the style of Corton-Charlemagne. Winemaking follows local practices, with varying degrees of destemming and some use of whole clusters, measured macerations, and fermentation and aging in barrels for ten to fifteen months for the whites. New oak is used sparingly.

For food pairings, the reds go well with roast poultry, beef bourguignon, lamb, mushrooms, jambon persillé, and moderately aged cheeses. The whites pair with fish in sauce, Burgundy snails, seafood, goat cheese, and aged Comté. Serve the reds at 14 to 16°C and the whites at 11 to 13°C.

What are the best Pernand-Vergelesses vintages?

The benchmark vintages of the past thirty years are 1999, 2002, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023. The area’s natural coolness, long considered a drawback in difficult years, has become a major asset: warm vintages do particularly well here, explaining the outstanding results in 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The 2010 and 2017 vintages remain benchmarks for balance, while 2022 and 2023 were ripe, generous years, particularly appealing for whites. By contrast, 2003 produced heavy, atypical wines; 2004, 2011, 2012, and 2013 yielded uneven results that make producer selection important; and 2016, 2021, and then 2024 were hit by frost or downy mildew, resulting in very small harvests. Today, wines from 2010 through 2019 are in their prime drinking window, while the 2020, 2022, and 2023 premiers crus need a few more years. For older whites, bear in mind that Burgundy vintages from the late 1990s and early 2000s suffered from premature oxidation.

What are the best estates in the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation?

The best estates include families established in the village for generations alongside a few notable producers from Savigny or Beaune. The village’s most prestigious name is Domaine Bonneau du Martray, based on rue de Frétille. It is the only Burgundy property to produce exclusively grand cru wines, from some ten hectares in Corton-Charlemagne and Corton. Farmed biodynamically, it came under the control of American businessman Stan Kroenke in 2017. Its wines do not bear the village appellation, but its presence speaks volumes about the quality of the commune’s terroirs and raises the village’s profile as a whole.

Domaine Chandon de Briailles is the definitive benchmark for red wine. Based in Savigny-lès-Beaune and run by the de Nicolay family under certified biodynamic practices, it owns one of the finest plots in l’Île des Vergelesses. The grapes are vinified as whole clusters, without excessive oak. The result is a Pinot Noir of remarkable finesse and energy, regularly cited as the appellation’s best red wine and sought after by enthusiasts around the world.

Domaine Rapet Père et Fils is the village’s historic benchmark. Based on the town hall square and established here for many generations, the family farms some 20 hectares around the hill of Corton, from Corton-Charlemagne to the premiers crus of Pernand, including the Clos du Village white-wine monopole. Its red Île des Vergelesses and mineral whites set the stylistic standard for the entire appellation.

Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine, founded in 1840, is the village’s other longstanding family estate. It farms some 20 hectares, including the Clos Berthet monopole, plots in l’Île des Vergelesses and En Caradeux, and vineyards in Corton-Charlemagne and Corton. Its classic, well-structured wines combine generous fruit depth with careful aging and develop remarkably well over time.

Domaine Rollin Père et Fils has built a strong reputation for the appellation’s white wines, especially Sous Frétille, with wines marked by freshness, salinity, and rare consistency. Its prices remain among the most approachable in the Côte de Beaune for this level of quality, making it a reliable choice for starting a wine cellar.

How long can you cellar a Pernand-Vergelesses wine?

A Pernand-Vergelesses wine generally keeps for four to fifteen years, depending on its color and appellation tier. Village reds are best enjoyed after four to eight years, when their tannins have softened but their fruit remains vibrant. Red premiers crus, particularly l’Île des Vergelesses, call for at least five years of patience and can easily last ten to fifteen years in good vintages. Village whites are best drunk after three to seven years, while white premiers crus, especially Sous Frétille and Clos Berthet, often come into their own after five years and can last ten or twelve thanks to their natural acidity. Ideal cellar conditions are 11 to 14°C, with good humidity, away from light and vibrations, and bottles stored on their sides. Thirty minutes in a decanter benefits young, still-closed red premiers crus, while a brief fifteen-minute decant is enough to bring out the most tightly wound whites.
