Etienne Delarche Les Boutières Rouge Vieilles Vignes Pernand-Vergelesses 2024

Much to our delight, there are still corners of Burgundy that feel undiscovered. In the
peaceful valley of Pernand-Vergelesses, beneath the watchful slope of Corton, a small family domaine works without fanfare — no grand façade, no glossy branding — just patient farming and deeply soulful wines. Domaine Etienne Delarche is a beautiful reminder that great Burgundy can still be transparent, moving, and within reach.

The whites are creamy and composed, with a quiet power that takes a cue from grand cru Corton-Charlemagne. Not flashy. Not overworked. Just layered Chardonnay that hums with stone, orchard fruit, and the kind of natural concentration that only old vines and careful farming can deliver.
 
The reds? Pure Pinot Noir pleasure. Spiced and refined, graceful from the start but built to evolve. They carry that unmistakable Pernand signature — freshness wrapped around depth — and they age with a kind of dignity that feels increasingly rare.

We're offering a small selection from the Delarche lineup — whites and reds that capture the spirit of Pernand-Vergelesses in its purest form. If you love Burgundy for its nuance rather than its label, for its perfume rather than its power, this is a beautiful place to land.

From seventy-year-old vines rooted in deep, clay-rich soils at the foot of the slope, this Pinot Noir shows both flesh and drive. Fermented in tank and aged mostly in neutral oak, it opens with black fruit, licorice, earth, and a touch of pepper. Juicy and energetic, it layers bramble and violet over a supple, quietly structured frame.
