Vinification and Aging

The Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Fichots 2022 is made with a focus on preserving the purity of fruit and the expression of the terroir. The grapes undergo a 12 to 16-day infusion during cuvaison, with a portion of whole-cluster fermentation, which enhances aromatic complexity and structure. Fermentation is conducted with indigenous yeasts, ensuring a natural and terroir-driven profile. The wine is then aged for 14 to 20 months in French oak barrels, with 15% to 25% new oak, adding texture and subtle complexity without overpowering the wine’s character.

The wine is silky and fresh, offering a well-balanced structure with precise tannins. A dynamic energy runs through the mid-palate, bringing vibrancy and tension, while the long finish reveals a subtle minerality and layered complexity.
