Greetings!
We have been after some 2018 Burgundy from producers that often stash away cases for their library selections to be used later down the road. Well, we could use them now! This was an outstanding vintage that needs to be in a glass not studied at a later date. 2018 Burgundy saw extreme heat, lack of rainfall, and struggling vines that produced concentrated fruit; all of which points to one of Burgundy's greatest vintages. To top it off there was no hail in 2018 so the crop is large along with the wine being outstanding.
Pernot Belicard Bourgogne Cote d'Or Chardonnay 2018 was in and out of our warehouse all within a 24 hour period, so this was my first choice when it came time to reach out to producers and beg for more. The grapes for this wine come from a small parcel of 6 acres in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, resulting in wines of exceptional quality. The same viticulture and vinification methods are applied for all the wines from the Domaine. Meaning that the Cote dβOr which is priced in the $30 range is treated in the same fashion as the higher-end labels.
Tasting Notes:
The wine offers an expressive nose of white flowers, stone fruits and buttered bread notes. The mouth is mineral and elegant, and delicate toasty nuances bring extra length in the mouth alongside a fresh acidity and a good balance.
Pair with veal Stew, Grilled Salmon, Epoisse cheese
