Wine Advocate-Parker : Tasted from bottle, 2016 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Vergelesses offers up pretty notes of plum and cherry fruit mingled with notions of Indian spices and loamy soil. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and expansive on the attack, but it's a little compact and austere on the back end, marred by tannic asperity.
