2024, Domaine Pernot Belicard, BOURGOGNE Côte d'Or Chardonnay

The largest cuvée of the domaine – 2.5 ha from 9 parcels. Again all in the commune of Puligny towards the Route Nationale. A mix of barrel and tank elevage. 5% new oak only.

Clear pale colour. A fresh chardonnay nose, not opulent and not reductive. Really nicely balanced, just what one would be looking for under this label, with a little burst of energy towards the back. Refreshing, medium-bodied, will be enjoyable soon. Drink from 2027-2029.

The 2024 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc comes from vines adjacent to the RN74 from nine parcels (2.4 hectares). This has a pretty, malic nose with Granny Smith apple and light chalk scents. The palate is fresh, with a keen thread of acidity that really keeps this on its toes. Not long, a tad abrupt on the finish but I appreciate the attack. Drink 2026-2032.
