Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Les Vergelesses" 2005, Jean-Jacques Girard

This Pernand was a delicate number with fragrant red berry aromas and a swirling chalkiness on the nose reminiscent of a sea shell-covered beach. Less ripe fruit than you might expect from a 2005 and distinctly raspberry and redcurrant rather than cassis or blackberry. Good balance, fairly gentle on the palate. Needs 2 more years to open out and gain weight. Didn't have the level of concentration of the Pernand Les Vergelesses 2004 from Domaine Rollin tasted in Burgundy in September. Nick and Peter look quite fine... at the start of the evening.
