Chandon de Briailles, Pernand Vergelesses, Ile des Vergelesses 2007

scuffed labels

93 points John Gilman

The 2007 Île de Vergelesses from François and Claude de Nicolay is really a beautiful bottle in the making, with the fine structure of this cru still wanting a few more years to fully blossom. The great nose jumps from the glass in a complex, red fruity blend of cherries, strawberries, mustard seed, iron-like soil tones, gamebird, orange zest and woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and already quite open on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, impeccable focus and soil signature, ripe, chewy tannins and outstanding length and grip on the utterly classic finish. A superb wine in the making, but give it a few more years to blossom fully on the palate.(3/2014)

Firm, dark tannins with solid black fruit flavors. It has structure followed by lively acidity that lends freshness, with a final beautiful black cherry character. It promises aging potential, proof of the quality of the vineyard in a cooler year. (RV) (12/2010)
