Tasting Notes
The vines used for Paul Pernot’s Bourgogne Chardonnay were planted in 1975. Now almost 50 years old, this old-vine plot borders Puligny-Montrachet, producing a Bourgogne Blanc of exceptional richness. Sadly – thanks to frost and wet, cool conditions – in 2021 there is 40% less of this cuvée than normal. Those cool conditions however have brought taut and vibrant acidity. The wine is bright and fresh with a classical, restrained nose of subtle citrus, sea spray and flinty minerality, with a touch of buttery richness and juicy white-fleshed nectarines. The palate combines a round viscosity with a line of taut salinity, with a long pithy finish.

Domaine Paul Pernot is synonymous with Puligny-Montrachet. For the last 30 years, the estate – alongside Domaine Leflaive and Domaine de Montille (previously Château de Puligny-Montrachet) – has been one of the largest shareholders in the appellation.
