Louis Latour - Pernand-Vergelesses - 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses - 2022
Description
The village of Pernand-Vergelesses is located just 3km from Aloxe-Corton, and of all the villages that the Grand Cru hill of Corton looks over, this is the most picturesque. The vineyard of "Ile des Vergelesses" is relatively high up on the slope and enjoys a northeasterly exposure, which means that the fruit achieves maximum ripeness quite late on. Our Pernand-Vergelesses "Ile des Vergelesses" is worked traditionally by the winemakers of Domaine Louis Latour.
