Pernand Vergelesses
Pernand-Vergelesses is a beautiful village tucked away behind the hill of Corton, and an excellent source for fine Burgundy at a relatively affordable price. Jadot have registered their own name, Le Clos de la Croix de Pierre, in a vineyard that faces the mighty hill. The lower part of the slope is an excellent site for Pinot Noir, while whites are grown on lighter soils higher up.

Domaine Rollin,
Ready, but will keep,
This cuvée comes from 2.5 hectares of vines planted in the cool valley of Pernand-Vergelesses. The wine is fermented and raised in a 50-50 split of traditional Burgundian 228-litre barrels and 400-litre barrels, the latter preserving freshness and minimising the impact of the 5% new oak. The nose is fresh and floral with citrus fruit and a touch of spice, while the palate is initially generous with some ripe lemon and lime, before tightening up on the finish with a chalky, grippy minerality. Drink 2021-2026.

The Rollins have 1.5 hectares in Les Cloux, a particularly well-sited vineyard located to the north of the hill of Corton, facing southeast and high on a steep slope. This sees around 20% new oak, with a third in larger barrels and the rest in standard 228-litre. The attack is generous and ripe, and there is a pleasing space to accompany the stone-fruit. More opulent than the regular bottling, but still with the same saline, sizzling finish that is the hallmark of Pernand. Drink 2022-2027.

Made from old vines, Rollin’s red Pernand is a sapid and refreshing expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir. All the wine is raised in oak, but only 5% is new, putting the focus on purity and freshness of fruit rather than wood. Juicy and crunchy, with a gourmand feel that leaves you reaching for the next glass, this is an excellent food wine. Drink 2021-2027.
Domaine Rollin,
Ready, but will improve,
This comes from just over two-thirds of a hectare of 60-year-old vines planted on brown, iron-rich soil. Fichots faces east and is located towards the foot of the slope, and is therefore shaded slightly by the hill of Corton for some of the day. The attack has pure red berry Pinot fruit, with some creamy oak and slight floral touches, while the finish is long and mineral with the austerity of Pernand providing a firm structure. Drink 2023-2030.
