Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru 'Ile des Vergelesses', Domaine Rapet Père & Fils, 2021 Sangiovese The palate is beautifully refinedThis superb red Burgundy is the issue of 50 year old vines that give wines for keeping. The vineyard itself is situated between the Premier Crus of Les Vergelesses in Savigny and Les Vergelesses in Pernand Vergelesses, hence the name 'Ile', or island.
