History:The wines from the Pernot family in Puligny-Montrachet are well-known throughout the world for classic Puligny and Bâtard style. They have rich concentration and fruit, but more importantly, good acidity that allow them to age gracefully and harmoniously.

Paul Pernot and his sons, Paul and Michel, produce a range of white and red Burgundies. They are the largest owner of Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru les Folatières, and their lineup includes Bourgogne Blanc, Puligny-Montrachet AC (shown here), Puligny-Montachet les Folatières, Puligny-Montrachet les Pucelles, Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet. Pernot prefers subtle oak flavors, although he has begun a new system of using more new oak for les Folatières and Bâtard-Montrachet. This was initiated with the ultra-rich 1995 vintage. The estate sells an important portion of its harvest to a Beaune négociant, who holds the exclusive on its Puligny Clos de la Garenne.

Over the years, the estate has enlarged its holdings in Pinot Noir, and produces Bourgogne rouge, Santenay Biéveau, Volnay les Carelles, Pommard les Noizons, Blagny la Pièce-sous-le-Bois, Beaune Teurons and Beaune Clos de dessus les Marconnets.
