As with other producers in Pernand-Vergelesses and Savigny-les-Beaune, I did no visits in 2017 to taste the 2016s prior to bottling because so little wine was produced. These two wines from bottle, though, demonstrate that what wine was made could be outstanding.
Both these wines are red.
2016 Pernand-Vergelesses
This wine shows more structure than the 2017 version, but no austerity. The fruits are dark (especially blueberry) and the wine has tension and good length. 90/A
2016 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Fichots
Here, harvest was 1/3 of normal quantity. The nose is complex with attractive stone elements. There is good fullness to the wine, and it is supported by a backbone of tannin and acid. The wine has dark fruits, some red currants, and spice, made fresh by the acidity. Expect 7-10 years of cellaring for this wine before it begins to show its full potential. 92/A
