From Domaine Alvina Pernot, founded in 2018 by Alvina Pernot and her husband Philippe Abadie in Puligny-Montrachet at the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Alvina is the granddaughter of the celebrated Paul Pernot, and after years working at the family domaine she struck out with her own project, sourcing exclusively white Burgundy from a mix of estate parcels and family-grown fruit. The wines are now made in the couple's own gravity-fed cellar in the village.
A Grand Cru Chardonnay from the legendary Corton hill, where chalk and marl soils on the upper slopes give Corton-Charlemagne its trademark structure and stony power. Expect a wine of layered intensity, with white flowers, hazelnut, stone fruit and lemon oil leading into a long, mineral-driven finish built for extended ageing.
