After working for three years at her grandfather's domaine, Alvina and her husband, Philippe Abadie, set up a tiny domaine \u0026amp; maison in Puligny-Montrachet. Alvina and her husband favor earlier-picked fruit and higher-altitude parcels within the large Pernot holdings. Alvina and her husband seem to have a good sense of what they can achieve; and, backed by the Pernot inheritance, they have an enviable canvas of appellations on which to realize it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"article-description\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section-basics-content\" class=\"section-content\"\u003e\n\u003carticle id=\"producer-winemaking\" class=\"important-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"article-description\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAlvina Pernot\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"article-description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePuligny-Montrachet, Burgundy, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLes Chalumaux occupies a favorable position within Puligny-Montrachet's Premier Cru hierarchy, producing wines that balance the appellation's characteristic elegance with a mineral backbone. The Pernot family, with their understanding of these terroirs, crafts this cuvée to reflect the vineyard's character rather than impose a house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Alvina Pernot's portfolio, this Premier Cru represents the family's dedication to site-specific winemaking, where each vineyard's geological fingerprint shapes the wine's character. The 2023 vintage captures the essence of what makes Puligny-Montrachet essential to any serious Burgundy collection—the marriage of power and finesse that these slopes can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e92 Points - Jasper Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eFrom the family, the oldest vines which grandfather Paul planted, in 1954. Pale in colour, with a bouquet as much redolent of stones as of fruit. Racy and stony on the palate too with good tension, less ripe grapes it seems, but with good persistence. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e92 Points - Burghound\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eHere too there is a vague suggestion of the exotic floating in the background of the aromas of passion fruit, orange peel, white peach and star anise hints. The super-sleek, energetic and beautifully textured flavors are not quite as dense, though they do offer equally good length on the balanced finale. This should also amply repay mid-term keeping. \u003cem\u003eBurghound Outstanding!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atherton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731727909169,"sku":null,"price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/Alvina_Pernot_Puligny-Montrachet_Les_Chalumaux_Premier_Cru_Burgundy_France_2023.jpg?v=1755092404","url":"https:\/\/marchantofwine.com\/products\/alvina-pernot-puligny-montrachet-les-chalumaux-premier-cru-burgundy-france-2023","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
