I'll drink to that where we get behind the scenes of the beverage business.

I'm Levy Dalton.

I'm Erin Scala and here's our show today. Oh, Nestled in the Code de Bonn up against the hill of Corton is the commune of Pernan Vergales.

In the 700's Charlemagne owned vineyards on the hill, and the history here is rich and peppered

with Charlemagne legends. Soils are limestone-based. is Of its premier cruise, the famed vineyard is Eel de Virgilis.

The region produces about half red and half white wine,

and is equally known for both, which makes it kind of a unique area in Burgundy, whose

sub-regions usually specialize in one or the other.

Once known for high-quality Ali Gote, today it's becoming more and more well known for

aeromatically rich chardine that drinks great at three to five years and Pinot Noir

that has a spiciness to it. And the region has had somewhat of a quiet renaissance in recent years.

If Appalachian attention is any indication of a region's growing importance,

Pernan Virgilis had several Premier Crew vineyards added in 2002.

But perhaps most useful for wine drinkers is the fact that

Pernan Virgilis has become more popular as a semi-affordable Burgundy choice, as prices for many other well-known

villages have skyrocketed in the last couple of decades.

Keep listening to hear more from one producer who's doing great things in this area.
