Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard
Les Vergelesses Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Pinot Noir
This is very tight and intense. Nose has loads of tiny bursty intense little cherries and pomegranate, along with intense chalky limestone minerality that almost verges into mint. As it airs, a deeper sous-bois note emerges. Intense and uncompromisingly lean, but with great concentration and length. The minerality really steals the show in the mouth. Lots of youthful but fine grained tannin. This will be much better in the coming years.
