Batard Montrachet Grand Cru Alvina Pernot, 2023

Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru is one of Burgundy’s most celebrated white wines, and the 2023 from Alvina Pernot offers the elegance and precision collectors look for in a top-tier Côte de Beaune Chardonnay. Sourced from a legendary Grand Cru site, it combines richness, mineral drive, and remarkable intensity in a style that reflects both the vineyard’s prestige and the producer’s thoughtful approach.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a bright, pale gold color with shimmering clarity in its youth. Aromatically, expect layered notes of citrus blossom, ripe pear, white peach, toasted hazelnut, and subtle oak spice, all lifted by a distinct stony, saline edge. On the palate, Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru is known for its deep texture and power, balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, mineral finish. The 2023 vintage should offer impressive immediate appeal, while also promising excellent evolution over many years, gaining complexity with notes of honey, truffle, and brioche as it matures.

Production
Batard-Montrachet lies on the prized limestone-and-marl slopes between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, where well-drained soils and ideal exposure produce Chardonnay of extraordinary concentration and finesse. Fruit is typically harvested by hand to preserve quality, then vinified with careful attention to retaining freshness and site expression. Fermentation and élevage often take place in oak, with measured use of new barrels to add structure without overpowering the wine’s natural balance.

Food & Serving
This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lobster, langoustine, scallops, turbot, roast chicken with cream sauce, or rich mushroom-based preparations. Serve at around 12°C, and consider gentle decanting if the wine is very youthful to help it open and show its full aromatic range.

Producer
Alvina Pernot is part of a respected Burgundy winemaking lineage, associated with meticulous attention to terroir and classic white Burgundy craftsmanship. While the domaine is relatively modern in its present form, the Pernot name carries strong recognition in the Montrachet area, a region renowned for producing some of the world’s finest Chardonnay. Her wines are increasingly appreciated for their purity, depth, and faithful expression of exceptional vineyard sites.
