The 2016 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Fichots was cropped at four barrels for just under a hectare. That's bugger all. Nevertheless, it offers attractive blackcurrant, blood orange and tangerine scents on the nose, just a slight sanguinous scent emerging. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, lovely structure and a brisk, brine-tinged finish that is beautifully focused. This is a very classy Pernand-Vergelesses—shame there is so little.
