Les Fichots Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019

Lyle Fass
9.4

My favorite Pernand 1er Cru. Classic nose of dark cherry fruit, brambly berry fruit, wild mint, spearmint, desiccated leaves, sous bois and citrus rind. Very complex and pure. So Fichots. Grippy, gritty, silky and dense with dark cherry fruit and forest floor inner mouth aromas and silky but substantial tannins. Needs air. Wonderful. As this airs the tannins smooth out and the energy increases as does the length.

Les Serpentières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

9.5

Wow this is singing. Stunningly deep floral/cherry nose. Mid season cherries that are perfectly ripe and juicy and so clear. Unreal spice and tweed jacket as well. 9.5 nose. Blown away. This drinks so well with 5-6 years on it. Palate is just heaven. Juicy and so decadent with good weight and luscious black cherry and late season red cherry fruit. Sapid and deep. Mineral finish. Outstanding showing. Unreal balance and freshness. It’s a 9.5 right now. Tannins need to smooth out so maybe even a 9.6 with air. — 3 months ago

What a nose of sour cherries, ripe red apple, earthiness mid season cherries and so sappy. So elegant, unctuous and wide. Perfect balance and drinking at peak. No rush but drink up. — 3 months ago

Wet wool, green apple and minerals. Smells rich. Palate is ripe, rich and racy. Green apple skins and awesome minerality and richness. Like a chardonnay drop in your mouth. So good. Pure and vibrant and also some fat. Great showing. — a month ago

@Severn Goodwin this was great but would only keep 1-3 more years. SA much longer

9.5

Blackberry, floral, black cherry, so deep and almost Syrah like nose. Syrah/Pinot hybrid. Elegant, sappy and pure. Classic Girard balance. Smooth even though I hate this word. So fresh with ripe tannins but provide terrific structure and depth. — 3 months ago
