94pts Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy

Clear pale lemon even with a slight green tint. The bouquet is much more coherent than the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. A clean thoroughbred white fruit, some depth, mid-range for a Bâtard, a tiny touch of toast at the back, considerable length and only a touch of the surmaturity. Drink from 2030-2036.

Importer Notes

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, playing a significant role in maintaining its reputation for complex, expansive, mineral-tinged Chardonnay. Their wines have exquisite delicacy and poise while remaining rich, ripe and with the structure to age.
