Medium golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of apples, pears & citrus notes of lemons/limes with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle & minerals, stony & a subtle hint of smoky/toasty oak. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of apples, pears & lemons/limes with minerals, flinty, stony & a hint of toasty oak & vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but has the structure, ripe fruit & depth to develop further with additional aging.

Lime juice, cream, wet stone, fresh tarragon, roasted corn and brine on the nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. Very subtle oak influence here. The palate is more citrus and yeast driven, adding blood orange and fennel seed. Medium + intensity of flavors.
Medium + body with only medium acid. Would have been even better with a little more acid. Drinking very well now, however. You could age it another year or two; though you definitely don't have to.

Wow wow wow. This as as good as it gets. 100% old school white burgundy.
Quince, grapefruit pith, nutmeg, lemon, white florals, salt, deeply cut orange zest, high elevation sierra pine forest in summer, extremely long length filling out with waxy, mouth coating yet cutting minerality and an exciting acid-glistening finish. Incredible juxtaposition.
Only gets deeper, more intense, more thrilling, more everything with time.
The pinpoint taste of Dujac/Sigaut (yes pinot), with the saline sea shell of Peter Lauer, with an incredible, completely unique beautifully complex, entirely unforgettable finish. Chalk. Big acid. Real deal.
Absolutely zero sense of thick buttery oaky malo bomb Napa/Paso dumpter fires.

Just arrived and decided to try a ‘21 to see how this challenging vintage presents chez Pernot.
For the first 2 hours this was extremely odd; resembled more of a Marsanne than anything else. Left overnight in the fridge and on Day 2 this started to emerge; floral, honeyed fruit, almonds, brioche, lemon cream. Digging this, at $60 it represents good QPR in my view.

The "village" wine from Paul Pernot: pale straw, delicate perfume, sweet citrus, creamy, moderate-high acidity; elegant classical style.
