2011 Domaine Paul Pernot Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / PULIGNY-MONTRACHET/CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 93
Good full medium yellow. Musky aromas of yellow peach, apricot and minerals lifted by a floral topnote. Boasts impressive volume and palate-saturating breadth but comes across as more closed than the Bienvenue in spite of its richness of texture. Finishes very long, though, with lingering notes of spices and smoke. Pernot recommends waiting three years before opening this.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: September/October 2013
Based in Puligny-Montrachet, Paul Pernot and his sons Paul and Michel occupy a very important and respected position in Burgundy. They are the largest owners of the premier cru vineyard "les Folatieres" and have made their name with serious, mineral-driven wines that engender the graceful blossoming of top-tier white Burgundy. These wines are focused and precise with plenty of acidity and layered fruit aspects. What is so notable about these wines is how in the beginning they are restrained and tight, but with a bit of subtle coaxing they dance across the palate, showcasing vibrant mineral, citrus and white spice notes. Pernot also produces several reds from appellations including Bourgogne, Beaune, Pommard, Santenay, and Volnay.
