WINE DESCRIPTION
Since 1955, Paul Pernot has led the domain, with his three sons now joining him. With 19 hectares of prime Cote de Beaune vineyards, they mainly supply negociants, including Drouhin. Their 20% estate-bottled wines reflect pure elegance and flavor from select plots. Despite some new oak and a three-year barrel limit, early bottling maintains freshness without overpowering oak notes. Their standout wines, Grand Crus Batard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet, are exceptional. The Batard combines two Chassagne and one Puligny plot, while the Bienvenues originates from two parcels. Aging vines only enhance their complexity. Pernot's Puligny Premiers Crus also shine, alongside the Puligny villages and Bougogne Blanc, offering surprising depth given their appellations and oak aging.

The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and full-bodied texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, mingle with zesty citrus notes, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity. The wine's well-integrated oak influence provides a subtle touch of spice and a creamy mouthfeel.
