Productinformation
Domaine Paul Pernot is a classic winemaker of the old school. The estate was founded in 1959 and is located in the centre of Puligny-Montrachet. Paul Pernot once started with 10 hectares of vineyards and specialised in Puligny-Montrachet production, today it has grown into a true family business. Currently grandfather is retired and his two sons are in daily charge. The style of his wines are rich, round and classic.
Due to the climate at the foot of the hill, the soil here is deeper than in the other grand crus. The gravelly limestone soils of Bâtard-Montrachet have a higher clay content, so drainage is not as effective as higher up the hill. However, the soil still allows contact between the vines' root system and the underlying limestone, which makes for healthy, strong vines and perhaps contributes to the subtle minerality of Bâtard-Montrachet wines.
