Domaine Pierre Marey et Fils
2011 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Belles Filles
A straight-ahead, fruit-forward, everyday drinking Pinot Noir. Enjoy now!
Toasty oak, cherries, and cocoa rise up from the glass. Immediately appealing, with rich, round fruit, and layers of cola spice and chocolate on the palate, but has a good acid bite on the mid-palate and balancing tannins on an extended finish. Combines structure with a silky roundness. Young, yet drinkable even now. Will improve with time. Excellent value.
Food pairing: Duck; lamb; roasted chicken; earthy, mushroom-scented dishes
Aromas of cherries and cranberries, laced with cloves and clay mark the nose. A crisp cherry bite on the attack is followed by a mid-palate that will soften with time. Good structure suggests further development, likely through around 2020.
Food pairing: Roasted duck
The Creator of This Wine
Domaine Pierre Marey et Fils
A well-kept secret. For seven generations. That is the best way to describe Domaine Pierre Marey et Fils. Finding it requires venturing high to the top of the small town of Pernand-Vergelesses, where it sits neatly tucked on each side of a steep winding street. We have found it well worth the effort.
