Take an exciting ride! Youthful and fragrant with flowers and summer berries. Sleek and cool, but with rather extravagant fruit. A firm core of tannins, but no rough edges. Long, energetic finish. Excellent aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.

- Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Ile des Vergelesses" 2014 - Wine Enthusiast- October 2016 - 90/100
Tense and structured, this is a firm, concentrated wine from the top vineyard in the appellation. It has tight acidity as well as red-currant flavors. The structure is still firm and condensed, and the wine will need time. It has potential; drink from 2019.

The Pernand-Vergelesses Ile des Vergelesses, the best site in Pernand, exhibits black cherry and black currant fruit allied to a rich, dense texture. This is concentrated, less evolved than the Beaune, with fine energy and complexity. By Bruce Sanderson (USA)
- Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Ile des Vergelesses" 2014 - Burgundy Report - January 2016 - "Complex and very good"
Deep, reasonably wide, dark-skinned fruit. Round in the mouth, beautifully textured and complex. There is a growing intensity here, dark-skinned again, a line of fine flavour. Complex and very good - indeed a great start. (cask sample) By Bill Nanson (UK).
- Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Ile des Vergelesses" 2012 - Tom Cannavan's wine-pages.com - August 2015 - 90/100
Lovely sweet fruited nose, with very fine and solid cherry and red liquorice aromas, a soft sheen of smoke and gentle earthiness. The palate has good fruit, a nice serious bit of grip here, but there is a freshness and a gentle and attractive red fruit lightness too, giving this good length. (UK)
- Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Ile des Vergelesses" 2012 - Wine Spectator - Juin 2015 - 90/100Elegant and
laced with berry and spice flavors, this red stays balanced and vibrant on the
long aftertaste. Almost peppery on the finish. Best from 2017 through
2026.

- Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Ile des Vergelesses" 2011 - Allen Meadows -Burghound.com - May 2013 - 88/100A discreet touch of wood sets off aromas of violet, red pinot fruit and a hint of wet stone. There is good verve to the utterly delicious middle weight flavors that are shaped by light but ripe tannins on the balanced and moderately persistent finish. 2016+
- Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Île de Vergelesses" 2010 - Wine Enthusiast - November 2012 - 89/100Soft and rounded, this has an open, fragrant character.
