Domaine Pernot Père & Fils - Gevrey-Chambertin "En Champs" 2023

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.

On the hillside exposed to cooler winds, picked last, so after the heatwave had subsided. 30% whole bunch, one third new wood. Black in the centre with a purple rim. Black fruit also on the nose, with a touch of bramble in the fruit profile in the mouth. Just a little bit earthy from the stems. Can see a touch of dilution despite the seeming concentration. This should come together more with a little time in bottle. Drink from 2028-2033. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
