Domaine ROLLIN Père & Fils (Pernand-Vergelesses) -- 2018 Part I: Red Wines Tasted from Bottle and Tank Samples

Please see my overall comments on the 2018 vintage in the Côte d’ Or here.)

Simon Rollin, who began working with father Rémi in 2003, is now fully in charge at the domaine. He said that he began harvesting on 31 August with the reds. Quantities were “good.” As usual, the reds were 100% destemmed. There was a three-week cuvaison, and malolactic fermentations were done by December. Alcohols are in the range of 13-13.5º.

As the notes below indicate, this is an estate that got the vintage right.
