Domaine Pavelot, Pernand-Vergelesses Rouge 1er Cru "Ile des Vergelesses"
The beacon Premier Cru for the village, it is located mid-slope, oriented toward the east with a luminosity from the first rays of morning until the dwindling rays of sunset. Here we are in the presence of true clay deposits in small quantity. Always rich in limestone accompanied by an elevated level of iron, explaining the reddish tint. The coarse sandy deposits one finds here are key in lightening the soil and optimizing the circulation of water. In short, a beautiful soil to work with and emblematic of a grand soil. Whatever the vintage, the wine issued from this parcel, possesses an elegance and a finesse that one does not find in the other Premier Crus of the village. In balance and equilibrium, this wine expresses
enormous depth and is the archetype of a grand wine.
