Notes from North Berkeley Imports:

"It’s easy to miss the petite hamlet of Pernand-Vergelesses, hiding behind bulk of the noble Corton hill. Yet this Côte de Beaune village, with its impeccable vineyards, is a treasure trove of refined Burgundy wines. For more than three generations, the Delarche family has crafted authentic, earthy and expressive Burgundy in Pernand, much under the radar of the Burgundy cognoscenti. Yet Delarche Burgundy offers a clarity and purity of flavor that is captivating.The family’s few rows of older vines in this grand cru face west, and sit at the top of the slope. Soils are predominantly gray marl."

The family’s few rows of older vines in this grand cru face west (a cooler exposition), and sit at the top of the slope. Soils are predominantly gray marl. Vine age 60+ years; planted by winemaker Etienne Delarche’s grandfather. Hand-harvested.
Fermented on indigenous yeasts in new barrels; aged for 14 months.
