Universal consensus holds that “Ile des Vergelesses” is the greatest site for red wine in the village of Pernand-Vergelesses, and the Rollins, who are based in that village, turn out a stunning example every vintage. Situated at an altitude of 300 meters on a steep southeast-facing slope, Ile des Vergelesses delivers that rare combination of power and elegance that only the best vineyards can. The generous fruit of the 2017 vintage gives this wine a seductive, sappy black cherry note that tempts one to keep opening bottles now, even in its extreme youth, but be sure to hold on to at least a bottle for drinking 10+ years down the line! This is an extremely limited-production, allocated wine that makes its way into the hands of a very limited number of retailers and restaurants each vintage. Getting 12 bottles as a retailer is a score, and this year we were thrilled to be able to jump on five cases for our clients! We might never see that kind of quantity available again. We encourage you to check this very special wine out if you’ve never had it before.
