Domaine Pernot Père & Fils - Gevrey-Chambertin 2023

This Gevrey-Chambertin has great length with dark red raspberry notes.

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 the northern end of the appellation, Champerrier, En Derée, En Croisotte. Intense purple in colour, all destemmed. 20% new wood. The aromatics are on the cusp of strawberry and raspberry. A bit more extraction but this has worked really well. In the mouth, the raspberry side dominates while the acidity and tannins provide structure. Drink from 2027-2032. 92 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
