"A beautifully layered nose combines notes of white and yellow fruit with those of spice and a plethora of floral elements. The medium-bodied flavors are not quite as dense but they possess a lovely sense of verve and richness, all wrapped in a more tightly wound, saline and bitter lemon inflected finish. Very promising."
About the Producer:
"Paul Pernot has run the domaine since 1955 and now his three sons are assisting him. They own 19 hectares of fantastic vineyards in the Cote de Beaune, but sell a vast majority of it to negociants, including Drouhin. The 20% or so that they bottle themselves are pure, elegant and delicious representations of their best parcels. While most wines see some new oak and they only use barrels for three years, he bottles early in order to preserve freshness and avoid any noticeable oakiness.
The top wines, which always make a great comparison, are the Grand Crus Batard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet. As great as both wines have been over the years, they only get more distinct and complex as the vines age."
Alcohol: 14.3%
