2023, Domaine Pernot Belicard, BEAUNE, 1er Cru, 'Pertuisots'

Next to Bouchard’s monopoly Clos St.Landry. 20% new oak.
A really expressive, wide nose with a small grain of complexity – aromatically I might guess a Meursault, blind. Hmm, in the mouth that melts beautifully over the palate – complex, some very well integrated barrel - I would guess a good villages Meursault in quality level – it finishes deliciously. Bravo Beaune!

Replanted some in 2023. Will pull out all the rest later this year. Time to experiment with different rootstocks. Mixed yellow fruits of modest dimension, quite good acidity, fair length. Plenty to like, and better length than I first thought. Drink from 2027-2030.

Pale, greeny gold. Apples, acacia, creamy dairy nose, smoky too. Apples and almonds, gourmand. Salivating acidity. Moreish. A little grapefruit (pleasant) on the finish.
