Pernot Belicard

Wine importers the world over are forever combing the streets of Burgundy for tiny, impeccable producers like Pernot Belicard—the new, under-the-radar domaines that make you feel like you just discovered fire. -Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier.

Philippe Pernot (a scion of the Paul Pernot dynasty) launched the Pernot-Belicard label in 2009 after marrying Miss Belicard. This small six-hectare domaine located in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet is making rapid strides.

He’s farming sustainably, employing a brilliant barrel-then-steel aging regimen, and crafting small quantities that already have quickly earned him reverence amongst colleagues and critics. Those are delicious, classic, high-toned Puligny, plus an empathic reminder that great white Burgundy has no peer—it’s also a must-have experience. Because it contains wine’s most profound levels of tension, energy, perfume, and mineral richness.
