Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Cuvée Rameau Lamarosse
Albert Bichot’s view
Pleasant, fruity Pinot nose (red and black fruit). Rather supple and fresh on the palate, with a nice envelope. An accessible wine to discover.
Food pairings
The juiciness and crunchiness of this wine make it a great match for charcuterie, grilled meats, mixed salads and Epoisses.
The parcel extends the slopes of the Corton hill between Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-les-Beaune. Les Vergelesses is one of the appellation's 6 Premier Cru Climats. The slope is gentle, and the soil very deep, with thick clay and a sprinkling of ferruginous pebbles. This undoubtedly explains why the Pinot Noir produced here is both structured and slightly mineral. Tannins are often "fresh", with a clean touch and a smooth finish. Generally appreciated in its youth, it can also be kept thanks to its freshness.

History of the cuvée
Since 1626, the Lamarosse family has linked its destiny to that of the town of Beaune: its first representative Antoine was a cooper, then numerous descendants exported Burgundy wines throughout the world until the 19th century. The last representative bequeathed her house and the majority of her vineyard to the Hospices de Beaune and her home village of Pernand. Benefiting from perfect exposure, the vines, 30 years old on average, are exposed to the rays of the rising sun and begin the ripening process in the morning.
