Rare vintage , low stock. The 2004 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Fichots reveals aromas of sweet red berries, plums, raw cocoa and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish, this is another of the most charming wines in the Rossignol. A blend of forty year old vines and an older vine of sixty years. Built to age 15 to 20 years.

Textbook Pernand Vergeless Premier Cru. More freshness to the width of aroma – a suggestion of more floral notes too.
