Silky, dark-fruited Pinot from the Ile des Vergelesses climat, the 2022 Domaine Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru layers black cherry and plum with lifted florals, gentle spice and a stony, chalk-tinged backbone. Medium to full in body yet graceful, it feels fleshy and velvety through the mid-palate before tightening into a long, structured, slightly austere finish that clearly signals its capacity to age.

Domaine Chandon de Briailles’ Pernand‑Vergelesses 1er Cru “Île des Vergelesses” is a Pinot Noir from a mid‑slope, east‑facing premier‑cru site (clay‑limestone with iron‑rich marl) that gives the wine a persuasive mix of ripe cherry and plum fruit, floral and spice notes, and a distinct mineral/saline finish; typically medium‑to‑full-bodied, finely tannic and ageworthy thanks to older vine parcels and precise élevage.
