Tasting notes
This is one of the highest-altitude sites in Alvina Pernot’s range, just below the Hameau de Blagny, overlooking Puligny and Meursault. With a sunnier exposition, it feels riper than Clos de la Jacquelotte, yet offers more floral rather than citrus tones. The palate is similarly rich, building towards an explosive finish – sumptuous with such concentration. Four barrels were made and no new oak was used on the wine. The 2022 labels are one-offs, including a dedication to their son Pâris, who was born on 1st January 2022.

Four barrels made, from the family domaine. Pale lemon yellow. A reductive nose at the moment and a bit toasty. Lightly vegetal. Lean behind, not easy to judge today. Otherwise, white fruit, medium bodied with some length.
About the producer
Alvina Pernot is one of the most exciting producers of white Burgundy today. Based in Puligny-Montrachet with some incredible vineyards, this is a name to watch – creating taut and mineral styles of white Burgundy.
