Mongeard Mugneret Pernand Vergelesses Les Vergelesses 2022

Bright, poised, and quietly confident, opening with red cherry skin, alpine strawberry, and rose petal, threaded with crushed stone, sweet spice, and a faint savory note of dried herbs and iron. The palate is lithe and transparent, driven by fresh, mouthwatering acidity and fine, chalk-dusted tannins, carrying flavors of red currant, pomegranate, and a subtle twist of orange peel. There’s a natural 2022 generosity to the fruit, but it’s neatly held in check by mineral tension and lift, finishing long and resonant with a gently earthy, stony persistence that feels both precise and inviting.
