François Buffet Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Vergelesses 2020

92 POINTS: Neal Martin, Vinous

Recommended, Wine Direct

100% Pinot Noir

“The 2020 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses 1er Cru, completely de-stemmed, is more cohesive on the nose compared to the Savigny with some lovely crisp brambly red fruit and minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well judged acidity with a wonderful delineation on the finish. Excellent.”
— Neal Martin, Vinous

“Classic Pinot Noir nose with redcurrant fruits, & hints of dried herb and wild strawberries. This is a very fine Pernand-Vergelesses with moderate tannins that perfectly integrate with the medium bodied palate. Great drinking now, with a fine silky finish.”
— Wine Direct

“A slightly more deeply pitched nose features notes of poached plum, earth and hints of both violet and anise. The supple and sappy medium-bodied flavors coat the palate on the youthfully austere, moderately firm and sneaky long finish. This competent effort will need to develop better depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range.”
