2023 Frederic Esmonin Pernand Vergelesses les Boutieres

When Burgundy lovers talk about value, Pernand-Vergelesses often comes up as one of the region’s most overlooked treasures. 

Les Boutières is a uniquely placed vineyard, resting at the crossroads of Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton, and Savigny-lès-Beaune—just a stone’s throw from the hallowed Grands Crus of Corton. Its enviable neighbors include Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru “Basses Vergelesses” and Aloxe-Corton’s 1er Crus Vercots and Guèrets.

In the glass, this 2023 bottling offers bright red fruit, subtle underbrush, and fine spice—all wrapped in the hallmark freshness that makes this corner of Burgundy so distinctive. It’s a wine that punches far above its price point, reflecting both its terroir and Frédéric Esmonin’s deft hand in the cellar.

Whether you’re looking to expand your Burgundy horizons or simply stock up on a wine that delivers authentic character at a rare value, this is a bottling you’ll want in your cellar.
