Domaine Pernot Père & Fils - Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022

This Bourgogne has a gorgeous cherry infusion lasting very well.

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.

From Fixin and Brochon and Pascal will add Pressonniers, a very good vineyard below Gevrey-Chambertin, next year. Destemmed and given a three week maceration. Half has been raised in older wood and half in stainless steel. Mid crimson colour. The nose took a minute or two to settle down, then reveals some fresh cherries. Just a little sombre at the finish. Retasted at the end and much more in place, with the cherry infusion lasting very well. Drink from 2025-2027. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Pinot Noir.
