    In the northwest of the Côte de Beaune, the village of Pernand-Vergelesses is nestled between 2 coombs, on the hillside.

    Vinification

    Exceptional Climatic Conditions for High-Quality Wines

    The 2020 vintage in the Côte de Beaune was marked by exceptional climatic conditions. The winter and early spring were mild with very little precipitation. The March rains and strong sunshine favored early budbreak in early April and equally early flowering at the end of May. The cool weather in early June maintained good sanitary conditions. However, the high temperatures of July and August, combined with rare thunderstorms, caused water stress, reducing the harvest potential.

    White Wines

    The 2020 white wines from the Côte de Beaune present beautiful aromatic complexity focused on fruit, with excellent acidity and balanced harmony, meeting the expectations of Burgundy wine lovers.

    Red Wines

    The 2020 red wines from the Côte de Beaune display deep, rich colors, indicative of high anthocyanin content. These are concentrated wines with character, freshness, and rich aromas of black fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry.
