Domaine Rollin Pere & Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Rouge 1er Cru Les Fichots 2022 750ml

Situated immediately north of “Les Vergelesses” and beneath “Île des Vergelesses”, “Les Fichots” is a clay-and-iron-dominated site whose wines possess a far more structured, brooding personality than those of its immediate neighbors. The family’s exceptionally old plot—over 70 years of age—renders a wine of impressive concentration and power. Despite its deeper color, firmer tannins, and greater sense of solidity, it nonetheless displays spice-laden red fruits that are very Pernand, as well as an outstanding balancing acidity. We purchase two barrels annually (600 bottles).
