WTN: More or Vergelesses

by David M. Bueker » Wed Sep 30, 2020 7:35 pm

2005 Domaine Pavelot (Jean-Marc et Hugues) Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Vergelesses - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru (9/30/2020)
I read the other notes on CellarTracker, and I wonder if folks have a clue how Burgundy evolves. I was not totally shocked that this wines was still a bit sullen, even notable tannic, but the balance was there. The details were there. It just wanted more time. Every once in a while the perfume would blossom. Then it would close up again. Promise here, lots of promise. Come back in 5-7 years. The vintage demands patience.

Indeed. And these aren't even the blockbuster wines of the vintage. Although I guess they are structured. I have a few bottles left of 2005 Bize Savigny Aux Vergelesses, which I suppose has nothing to do with your Pavelot Pernand Les Vergelesses. But it's probably in a similar place.

I would suspect that you are right. Hands off.

I think I have to dig up some 1999 and 2002 Burgs. These 2005 experiments have been less than satisfying to date.
