Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumeaux Alvina Pernot, 2023

Puligny-Montrachet is one of Burgundy’s most celebrated addresses for refined Chardonnay, and this 2023 1er Cru Les Chalumeaux from Alvina Pernot captures that elegance beautifully. Sourced from a prized Premier Cru site in the Côte de Beaune, it offers the precision, mineral drive, and layered complexity that have made Puligny a benchmark for fine white Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
Expect a pale, luminous colour with a clean, polished sheen in the glass. The nose is typically expressive yet restrained, with notes of white flowers, citrus zest, ripe orchard fruit, subtle hazelnut, and a distinct stony, chalk-driven freshness. On the palate, the wine should feel focused and finely textured, balancing ripe fruit with vibrant acidity and a long, mineral finish. As with the best wines from Puligny-Montrachet, it is likely to develop additional depth and nuance over time, with strong ageing potential for those who prefer Burgundy with complexity and grace.

Production
Les Chalumeaux is a well-regarded Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, where limestone-rich soils and an excellent exposition help produce wines of tension, finesse, and aromatic precision. The 2023 vintage reflects the fresh, detailed style associated with the appellation, with careful harvesting and thoughtful cellar work aimed at preserving purity and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with seafood, roast chicken, lobster, scallops, creamy risotto, and fine poultry dishes. Serve chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, and consider brief decanting if the wine feels especially closed on opening, though this is generally not necessary for younger white Burgundy.

The domaine has gained attention for its precise, elegant style and for showcasing the character of its Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards with clarity and balance.
