Domaine Paul Pernot's clean, textural style of white Burgundy (Chardonnay) has always made them a favorite of ours and a staple on our shelves. These hallmarks of the Domaine are cornerstones of their 2021s which are clear and precise. Though one of Puligny's largest estates (20ha), the Pernots only keep the very best from their estate, about 20%, for bottling under their domaine label. Most of what is produced here gets sold to negociants. What they produce is great. After hand picking, the grapes are pressed immediately and barrel fermented in mostly old oak though there is adaptation with each vineyard/appellation. Minimal batonnage followed by a relatively short time in barrel keeps these wines very balanced and very approachable. Though certainly capable of aging, these are a pleasure to drink on release.
