Based in Puligny-Montrachet, Paul Pernot is a family-owned estate known for producing classic Burgundy wines with pristine fruit. Paul Pernot established the Domaine in 1959 with approximately 10 hectares, most of which had been in the family for many generations. Their Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is one that receives consistently good reviews and the 2002 is no exception. The wine is still surprisingly fresh, with ripe orchard fruit and a hints of honeycomb, butterscotch and mint.

Vinous
Broad, smoky nose features butterscotch, smoke and menthol, but less of the floral quality the wine displayed from barrel a year ago. Fat, sweet and powerful; the most massive of these 2002s but a bit monolithic today, showing less personality than the Bienvenue. A less juicy style of grand cru, and a bit youthfully aggressive today. Today it's the more vibrant, detailed Bienvenue that I prefer, even if both of these wines really call for six or seven years of bottle aging.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2004
