Characteristics and tasting advice for the Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « Ile des Vergelesses » 2014 from Domaine Champy
Tasting
Color
The color displays a superb garnet hue.
Nose
The nose reveals lovely complexity, combining fine spices with red and black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant), lifted by elegant floral notes of violet.
Palate
The attack is fresh, carried by a mineral backbone. The fruit expresses itself with precision, while the bright acidity brings definition, energy and elegance to the whole.
Food and wine pairings
This Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « Ile des Vergelesses » pairs ideally with Italian cured meats. It also goes very well with red meats, such as duck breast with blackcurrant, grilled beef or confit shoulder of lamb. A cheese platter will also make an excellent match.
Serving and cellaring
The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « Ile des Vergelesses » is best enjoyed between 15 and 16 °C.
The vibrancy and structure of a Premier Cru from the Côte de Beaune
The estate
Founded in Beaune in 1720 by Edme Champy, a cooper, Champy is recognized as the oldest négociant-éleveur house in Burgundy. Since 2016, it has belonged to the AdVini group and farms 21 hectares in the Côte de Beaune, from Volnay to Corton-Charlemagne. Committed to more responsible viticulture, the house now boasts 50% of its vineyards certified organic and 50% certified Haute Valeur Environnementale. Awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label in 2021, Champy combines a historic heritage with a modern vision, and remains the only production site still operating in the heart of Beaune’s old town.
The vineyard
The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « Ile des Vergelesses » comes from plots located in the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses, at the northern end of the Côte de Beaune. The very hilly vineyard spans elevations between 250 and 350 meters. The vines are rooted in clay-limestone marl soils, which give the wine its mineral, structured signature.
Vinification and aging
The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « Ile des Vergelesses » grapes were harvested by hand. Cold pre-fermentation maceration preceded a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation carried out by indigenous yeasts. Maceration lasted around three weeks. Aging then continued for 14 months in eight barrels, with 25% new oak.
Grape variety
100% Pinot Noir
