Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Domaine Paul Pernot in Burgundy terms is a fairly large Estate with a total of 20 hectares under vine and is the largest owner of Puligny Montrachet vines second only to Domaine Leflaive with 15 hectares in total. When it comes to Puligny-Montrachet, Jasper Morris MW reports in “Inside Burgundy”- Domaine Paul Pernot “could be the outstanding domaine of that appellation”. The domaine is unquestionably one of the top handful of growers in the appellation, his Pulignys have exquisite delicacy and poise but with the structure to age gracefully.

At present the majority of the wines are sold on to extremely fortunate négociants in Beaune. The remainder the domaine retains and bottles under their own name; it’s the absolute crème de la crème and quintessentially representative of Puligny Montrachet at its best. Now home to the seventh generation to work the land, this incredibly traditional producer has barely changed in the last four decades, testament to the old adage: “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

THE 2018 VINTAGE

The 2018s are textbook Pernot with great concentration, rich and opulent yet retaining a high level of purity and terroir-definition. Alvina Pernot (Paul’s granddaughter) mentioned that “one thing that struck me with 2018s is that across all parcels we had some of the nicest, healthiest, most perfect grapes I have ever seen”.

This wine comes from two parcels totaling 0.43 hectares. One was planted in 1960 and 1961, the other in 1986 and 1987
