Domaine Pernot Père & Fils - Gevrey-Chambertin "En Champs" 2022

Stunning Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs with great fruit forward flavours.

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.

A clear fresh purple. 30% whole bunches despite the hail. 30% new wood. More backward in some ways, certainly less depth, perhaps a little higher in volatile, no rough flavours from the hail fortunately. More linear but with considerable persistence. The acidity is slightly higher here. Drink from 2027-2031. 89-92pts, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Pinot Noir.
