Tasting notes
The fruit for Alvina Pernot’s entry-level cuvée comes from two parcels – Rue de Bois (around their new winery) and Femelottes (neighbouring Les Reuchaux). The result is a fresh, vibrant and juicy Bourgogne Blanc. The wine is layered with green apple, citrus and a chalky minerality. Pure and concentrated, this is excellent value.

Aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, fresh bread and struck match introduce Pernot's 2020 Bourgogne Côte d'Or, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled wine built around a bright spine of acidity. It's a strong effort at its level.
A blend of two parcels Femmelottes and a parcel adjacent to the winer, the 2020 Bourgogne Côte d’Or has an attractive bouquet with citrus fruit and lime, well defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, reassuringly malic with a saline twist on the finish.
