2007 DOMAINE PAVELOT LES VERGELESSES PERNARD-VERGELESSES 1ER CRU- wonderful, inviting aromatics introduce the fresh, lightly spiced red raspberry flavour that prevails throughout; it has grace and elegance and holds a steady course to make a profound statement for balance; one of my favs on the night.

Everything this wine should be. Cherry with earthy complexity, balance palate with just the right acidity, good mid palate and decent finish. Very enjoyable not but no need to rush.

This wine still presents initially as stony, stingy and hard. Now, however, during a night in the open bottle, the miracle of wine chemistry transubstantiates it into that paradoxically Pinot blend of tang, flowers, fruit and minerals. Good, full, and well-balanced - surprisingly so for the oft-disdained 2007 vintage. Pernand Vergelesses may not give the most generous of red Burgundy wines, but it has its own tale to tell, one of character and distinction. This wine is drinking beautifully now, with an ample decant.

This wine is showing well now, pretty open, fairly light on the palate, signature cherries on the nose. The Pernand hauture dominates this 2007 rendition, manifesting as a lean overall profile with a bit of stoneiness the first day, which resolves the second evening into a smack of almost chili-like acid-tannic intensity on the finish. I'm growing more and more fond of the odd, fussy profile from this commune. This bottle will be appreciated more by afficianados of texture and nuance, than of overt frut and depth.

This was a very nice surprise. Drinking very well now and although it may gain some complexity this is very hard to resist.
