Domaine Pernot Père & Fils - Cote de Nuits Villages "Croix Violette" 2022

This Cote de Nuits is Solid and saline on the palate.

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.

15-20% whole bunch vinification on the oldest vines. Raised in 500 litre demi-muids with 20% new. Mid crimson-purple. The same slightly high-toned bouquet this time backed by a deeper raspberry aspect. Solid and also saline on the palate, and a very long aftertaste to support at the finish. Drink from 2026-2028. 87-90 pts, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
