Batard Montrachet Grand Cru Alvina Pernot, 2024

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Alvina Pernot is a benchmark white Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most revered vineyard sites. Produced in tiny quantities, it combines richness, precision, and remarkable mineral tension, making it a standout for collectors and lovers of serious Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Typically, Bâtard-Montrachet shows a pale golden colour with a bright, luminous core. The bouquet is layered and expressive, often offering ripe citrus, white peach, pear, toasted hazelnut, delicate spice, and subtle smoky, flinty notes. On the palate, it is broad and powerful yet beautifully controlled, with concentrated stone fruit, citrus zest, creamy texture, and a long, saline finish. Even in its youth it should show impressive harmony, but the structure and depth suggest excellent aging potential, often developing more honeyed, nutty complexity over many years.

Production
Bâtard-Montrachet is one of Burgundy’s most famous Grand Cru vineyards, located on the limestone-rich slopes between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The terroir is prized for its stony, well-drained soils and ideal exposure, which help produce Chardonnay of exceptional depth, tension, and minerality. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this cuvée are not provided, but wines from this site are typically handled with great precision to preserve freshness and site expression.

Food & Serving
Best served slightly chilled, around 10–12°C. This wine pairs beautifully with lobster, turbot, scallops, truffle risotto, roast poultry, or rich dishes with creamy sauces. Decanting is optional for a young Grand Cru like this; if opened early, a short decant can help the wine show more generously.

Producer
Alvina Pernot is a rising name in Burgundy, associated with a new generation focused on crafting finely detailed, terroir-driven white wines. While still a relatively young producer, the estate has quickly gained attention for its careful work in some of the region’s most prestigious vineyard sites and for its elegant, precise style.
