Pernot Pere & Fils - Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 750ml
"Taking over the family domaine in 2018, Pascal Pernot quickly gained respect and admiration as a top Gevrey-Chambertin producer. Pascal’s great grandfather was chauffeur to the Liégard family of the Château de Brochon and subsequently inherited some vineyards (including the holding in La Croix Violette). The Domaine was established in 1900, with Pascal as the fourth generation, and surrounds the village of Brochon with a total of 7 ha. These grapes are all picked from the village of Brochon located at the foot of the hillside, facing east at places called “Champerrier”.
Grapes are destemmed and fermentation is with natural yeasts for a minimum of two weeks – possibly longer. The wines are aged for 18 months on fine lees worked in oak barrels (30% new barrels, 30% barrels from 1 wine, 30% barrels over 3 years old). 36-month drying barrels whose wood comes from Allier and Vosges oak." - Clos Cachet (Importer)
"92 points. From the northern end of the appellation, Champerrier, En Derée, En Croisotte. Intense purple in colour, all destemmed. 20% new wood. The aromatics are on the cusp of strawberry and raspberry. A bit more extraction but this has worked really well. In the mouth, the raspberry side dominates while the acidity and tannins provide structure. Drink from 2027-2032." - Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy)
