{"title":"Pernand-Vergelesses","description":"\u003cp\u003ePernand-Vergelesses lies in the northern stretch of the \u003cstrong\u003eCôte de Beaune\u003c\/strong\u003e, a few kilometers from Beaune, but not on the line of the Côte: the village is set back, at the head of a small valley open to the south, at the foot of the hill of Corton, which it shares with Aloxe-Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny. The present name dates from 1922, when the commune of Pernand added to its own the name of one of its most reputed climats, the Vergelesses; the Village appellation was recognized by the decree of December 8, 1936.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines face mainly east and south, between 250 and 300 meters. Lower down the soils are clay-limestone, mixed with siliceous fragments; mid-slope they become calcareous and stony, suited to Pinot Noir; higher up the brown and yellowish marls host Chardonnay. Red and white split the area in production almost evenly: about 77 hectares and 70 in 2022. Eight climats are \u003cstrong\u003ePremier Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e, among them Île des Vergelesses and Vergelesses; on the flank of the hill of Corton the commune also holds parcels of the Grands Crus Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, and Charlemagne. According to tradition, in 775 Charlemagne gave vines on this hill to the collegiate church of Saulieu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reds smell of small red fruits and stone fruits and with the years turn toward forest floor, over well-knit tannins; the whites recall citrus, almond, and hazelnut. The village also has a theatrical history: Jacques Copeau, founder of the Vieux-Colombier, settled here in 1925 with his company.
