Domaine Paul Pernot Bourgogne Chardonnay 2021
Those of us in the wine business, well, those of us who truly love wine anyway, make no pretense towards absolute impartiality when it comes to judging our favorites. We form deep emotional attachments to some wines and they become more like old friends than something you could ever objectively ‘score.’ Sure, some vintages might be more hyped than others, but, by and large, great producers produce great wines, and fans want them year-in-year-out. One such old friend is Paul Pernot’s ultra-reliable, ultra-delicious Bourgogne Chardonnay.
It’s the clean linear definition of its Asian pear-lemon curd fruit and the gentle subtlety of its citrus-infused mineral background that brings nuance and intrigue to the flavors that keeps me thinking about the wine. This old friend is a great, great drinker and will impress even the most demanding Burgundy lover and, as proven over many vintages here at PRIMA, it will only get better as it ages. It should be at its peak in only four or five years. As always, very highly recommended for your next Coquilles St. Jacques or whole grilled fish, or really anytime the taste of the genuine article is called for. Don’t serve too cold! Still an incredible bargain!
