Made from Pinot Noir, this wine shows the elegant, fresh, and mineral side of Burgundy, with bright red fruit, floral detail, fine tannins, and a graceful food-friendly structure.

Domaine François Buffet is based in Burgundy and lists Pernand Vergelesses Les Vergelesses among its appellations, alongside wines from Volnay, Pommard, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and other Côte de Beaune villages. The domaine notes that its work avoids weedkillers and anti-rot treatments, uses soil observation, and follows lunar cycles for several cellar and vineyard tasks.

The wine offers aromas of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, plum, redcurrant, violet, subtle spice, earthy notes, and light mineral character. On the palate, it is dry, elegant, fresh, and lightly structured, with red fruit purity, bright acidity, fine tannins, and a long refined finish. Viniou describes the 2023 Domaine François Buffet Les Vergelesses as a dry red from Pernand-Vergelesses AOC Premier Cru that stands out for elegance and finesse typical of Burgundian Pinot Noir.

This is a strong choice for customers looking for a Premier Cru Burgundy that is refined and food-friendly rather than overly heavy. Serve it with roast chicken, duck breast, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, charcuterie, roast vegetables, soft cheese, and elegant French-style dinners.
