Maison Louis Jadot - Pernand-Vergelesses - Rouge 2005

Wine:

The Pernand-Vergelesses 2005 is a colossus. True to the vintage, the wine is meaty, rich and dense. Aging enriches the tannic frame and reveals sweet spicy notes. Today it amazes us by its intensity and promises us the best for the future.

Vinification:

Traditional vinification, alcoholic fermentation in vats, one year's aging in oak casks before bottling.

Color:

Sustained, garnet colour.

Nose:

Lovely aromatic complexity, red fruit and spicy aromas.

Palate:

Well balanced on the palate with lovely tannins, well incorporated. This wine develops powerful aromas of red fruit combined with slightly spicy and animal notes (particularly after 5 to 7 years' aging).

Temperature:

Serve between 15 and 17°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Grilled or roasted red meats, poulty.

Cellar aging:

Enjoy up to and including 2013
