Françoise André - Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru « En Caradeux » 2018
Burgundy
Red
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
Nestled at the confluence of two combes, Pernand-Vergelesses lies at the top of the Côte de Beaune. Solid and full-bodied, it's a great seducer. With its virile but superbly melted tannins, it's a full-bodied, fleshy wine for connoisseurs, whose fatness gives it all the harmony it needs.
