Domaine Paul Pernot et Fils, one of the most esteemed producers in Puligny-Montrachet, fashioned an excellent village wine in 2024 despite the difficulty of the vintage. In 2024 grapes for this striking wine came from only three parcels of vines, 75-, 55-, and 35-years-old, instead of the usual six because of the miserable growing season. The beguiling nose draws you in and the flawless combination of delicate fruitiness and minerality makes you want another sip of this precise and focused wine. The energy imbued by the vintage amplifies its charms. The quality of this wine, despite the horrors of the growing season, shows the enormous talents of the team at Paul Pernot et Fils. Like his grandson’s wines (Pernot-Belicard), Paul Pernot’s develop beautifully with proper storage, so there is no rush to crack into this.
