Productinformation
Domaine Alvina Pernot. In 2018, Alvina established her own négoce, growing grapes from her grandfather's vineyards. After a rigorous selection of which plots best suited her own style, she began production. Alvina wants to make wines with a bit more tension and therefore seeks grapes from higher-altitude plots. Moreover, she prefers to pick earlier to preserve more freshness and tension. From the debut 2018 vintage, Alvina Pernot no longer used new oak. All wines matured on their lees in used barrels, mainly from François Frères, until they were transferred to be bottled.
The grapes come from the Pernot family estate in this terroir just north of Bâtard and Bienvenues-Bâtard. 2022 yielded only four barrels.
The richness of the terroir has produced a wine with a ripe aroma of apricot and apple, with hints of marzipan and spice. Although rich in texture, the domaine's reductive vinification style has produced an exquisite combination of freshness, breadth and depth. One of those wines whose charm creeps up on you the more you drink it.
Great storage potential here too!
